HAVING secured second spot in their Division Five pool Guernsey’s men successfully navigated their way to the play-offs at the World Championships in Dortmund, Germany.

HER dreams of competing in the Olympic Games team table tennis event have gone for another four years for Alice Loveridge.

PHIL OGIER pulled off a noteworthy come-from-behind win against Garry Dodd, but it was not enough to prevent the CI table tennis champion topping the Guernsey qualifiers for the Open CI Top 12.

THE eventual champion ended Alice Loveridge’s fine run at the Portuguese Open at the weekend.

ALICE LOVERIDGE has added another prestigious title to her collection after successfully retaining the Senior Six Nations title in Basildon.

ALICE LOVERIDGE’S London Olympic hopes remain in the balance after a mixed couple of weeks at two key events, identified as being the determining factor as to  whether she will move from the long list to the short list for Olympic selection in January.

ALICE LOVERIDGE beat two of the host country’s top under-21 players but fell foul of the rules at the Swedish Open in Stockholm.

THE England No. 25 men’s player proved too strong for both Garry Dodd and Alice Loveridge, but it was nevertheless a fruitful first weekend for the Sportingbet Guernsey men’s table tennis sides in the British League.

THE big guns of Guernsey table tennis are all available for the first round of the new season of the British League.

THE Olympics are only a step away for Alice Loveridge.
