Trojans declared Maidenhead League champions
31 May 2020
Even though the Maidenhead League had to conclude in an unfinished state, Cippenham Trojans had amassed enough points that they could not be caught at the top of Division One and have therefore been declared champions.

Cippenham Table Tennis Club re-opened on August 11th adhering to Covid-19 guidance issued by the Government and by Table Tennis England.
It is not "return to normal". After experimenting with two 1-hour sessions, the current format is now one 1.5-hour session on Tuesday evenings. These sessions are for members only and must be booked and paid for in advance using the link below. Bookings can be made up to 14 days in advance.
