Lobethal Hunters rolled by the Mt Torrens Bedford express in the 2023 D Grade grand final! Mt Torrens came into the grand final as favourites after topping the D grade ladder, while the Hunters had played well over the last weeks to win 2 elimination finals and earn their spot in the grand final. The opening singles were very even with 3 wins apiece. Ashley Harris and Jordan Bedford played the match of the night going the full five sets. Both players played a careful patient game. Jordan won the first set 11-9 before Ashley won the next two 11-3, 15-13. Jordan then fought back winning the fourth 11-7. In the fifth there were many long rallies with each player determined to out last the other before Ashley snuck ahead 2 points and won 11-9. In the reverse singles Mt Torrens picked up 4 wins through Julian, Mungo, Rowan and young star Charlie Bedford. In the doubles Virigina Hare and youngster Joy Jaeger combined well in the bottom double to get a win for the Hunters. However, Mt Torrens proved too strong in the middle and top double, claiming the D Grade premiership. Huge thanks to Birdwood table tennis club for hosting the night and the Torrens Valley Table Tennis Association executive for another great season, especially Secretary Geoff Symons who has managed the scheduling very well considering the unavailability of the Lobethal Centennial Hall for much of the season.
