Cippenham Table Tennis Centre is once again hosting all four days of the Junior British Clubs League, formerly known as the National Junior League. Twenty-four teams, including three from the host club, descended upon the Centre for its opening day on Saturday. Four of the twelve players representing Cippenham were making their debuts for the Club, maintaining the long tradition that the Club has of introducing new youngsters into the sport.

​

The most successful of the Cippenham teams was the "A" team. They finished second in Division One largely due to the exploits of George Driscoll who won all nine of his matches and, as a consequence, was named Player of the Match for all three matches. The opening match was inauspicious for the Cippenham team, losing to top-placed Stanmore "A" 6-3. The second match, against Cumberland, gave the team their first taste of victory as Aaron Mendonca and Anish Adapa both beat Al-Reza Hirji backing up George's three wins to make the ultimate score 5-4 in Cippenham's favour. Rohan Bhide came into the side for the final match and his three wins, replicating George's performance, plus one from Anish secured Cippenham a 7-2 victory over Twickenham Brunswick A.

​

The B team were less successful and finished bottom of Division 5 despite enjoying a superb 6-3 victory over second-placed Chiltern B in their second match. This was a fine team performance as all three players, Armaan Koteshwar, Jude Marshall and Nayan Yelkur each won two of their individual encounters. This result was sandwiched between two 7-2 defeats against Crusaders D and Ashford C.

​

The Cippenham C team were placed in the basement Division 6 and finished third. Their solitary victory came in the opening match, 7-2 against Twickenham Brunswick C. Ayush Kulkarni, by virtue of winning all this three matches, picked up the Player of the Match award and he was well supported by Saavan Hunjan and Shreyas Wagle who won two each. Saavan again won twice as Cippenham lost 7-2 to Stanmore C  and then the day finished with another defeat, this time 6-3 to Ashford D.
