Table Tennis: September challenge-Sultan and Bristol clinch September titles

In the men’s final, Sultan came from two sets down to glide past Achille Dodin and win 4-3, while in the ladies’ final Bristol easily cruised past Laura Sinon 4-1 to win the title.

The men’s division one group attracted eight players who were divided into two pools with the top two from each group qualifying for the semi finals.

After losing the first two sets 6-11 and 9-11, Sultan came back to win the third one 11-8, before again losing the fourth 8-11. Three sets down and with Dodin needing only a set to win the game, Sultan redeemed himself in the fifth and sixth sets which he won 11-7 and 11-6 respectively to tie the match at three sets apiece.
