4. Well done to Ramone Cambell, James Han, Charleigh Kirby, Danny Spaull, Mohammed Abdulahi and Rumandeep Sahota for qualifying for the all London LJTTS finals this Saturday 9:00am at Southall.
   

5. One of the highlights of the season saw London Progress 2 defeat Polska in the semi-finals of the Wembley & Harrow Cup where Ashley Stokes and Andrew Hagger came from 8-1 down in the final game of the final match to win the overall game 5-4. Great work by captain Ashley Hayes and his team.

6. DHS London Progress 1 will play their semi-final against Eastcote 2 next week.

7. This season’s non-Prem British league was completed this weekend with all 5 of our teams finishing in 3rd place. This was a good result given a long catalogue of illness, injury, unavailability and unreliability in the final weekend. Great performances by Koji Hirota, Bhavin Savjani, Bhuwan Limbu, Emran Hussein, Garth Kinlocke, Matthew Ware and Rafi Marom throughout the season.

8. Finally, a special welcome to Mr Chen who joins the DHS London Progress Coaching Team as part of TT links Chinese Coaching Team.
