Pennant 1

Match Schedule : 1- Wayne Carmichael(1) v Dillon Chambers(4), 2 – Mark Dorman(2) v Gavin Carmichael(3), 3 – Shannon Bowen(5) v Jackson Tung(8), 4 – Andrew Cannard(6) v Graeme Oneill(7)

STAR junior Dillon Chambers edged out Gavin Carmichael in a tense five-set final of the Sunraysia Table Tennis Association’s Pennant 1 Winter Super 8s singles last week.

Chambers, 13, who recently won the South Australian Under 15 title, narrowly lost the first set the vastly more experienced Carmichael, before punching holes in the best defence in the competition with relentless attacking table tennis over the next three sets of the seven-set final, 11-4, 11-6, 11-6.

In the fifth, Chambers let two match points slip as Carmichael levelled at 10-all, but nervelessly hit two unplayable drives to each wing to win 12-10.
The Super 8s tournament pits the top eight players on the pennant aggregate in each grade battle against each other. It showcases the improvement in of Sunraysia table tennis since Sunraysia hosted the Swedish, German and Belarus teams for pre-Olympic practice in 2000.

The draw gives the four leading players in each grade a double chance, while lower-ranked players who lose thei first round are eliminated, but play one more knockout match to determine their final rankings.

The A Grade final was something of a surprise, because both finalists lost their opening matches. Chambers lost a tight five-setter to perennial A Grade aggregate winner, the evergreen Wayne Carmichael, while Mark Dorman maintained his recent ascendancy over Gavin Carmichael, using dour defence to break down Carmichael’s weaker backhand wing.
Shannon Bowen consigned young Jackson Tung to the eliminator with a four-set win, while Andrew Cannard met fire with fire to dismiss Graeme O’Neill in four close sets.
Chambers inflicted a rare 11-0 scoreline on Shannon Bowen in the first set of their semi-final, only to drop the second set before going on to win in four sets.
Carmichael was too consistent for Cannard, winning in three to earn a preliminary final berth, where he beat brother Wayne easily in straight sets.
Dillon Chambers earned his place in the final by beating Mark Dorman in straight sets.
Chambers’ win over Gavin Carmichael in the final confirmed that he will threaten Wayne Carmichael’s long-standing status as the district’s top player in the coming summer season –  external tournament commitments allowing.

After being runner-up in the Pennant 2 Super 8s last summer, Lee Thomas edged out Peter Midgley in a preliminary final to go into the final against veteran Arthur Parr, who had won a five-set thriller against Peter Midgley.

Thomas’ blocked attack was more than a match for Parr’s sharply angled hustling style, and she won the seven set final in four straight sets.
