Table Tennis News 7

NOVEMBER 2025

The competitive table tennis season is now well underway and Burton A, captained by Ben O’Flynn, are currently sitting 2nd in Division 1 of the Kendal & District Table Tennis League (KDTTL) and embroiled in their usual battle with Natland A for the Division 1 Championship. Burton B, captained by Paul Hines, have started well and are comfortably mid-table in Division 1.

In Division 2, Burton C, captained by Tony March, are unbeaten and riding high at the top of the table. Burton D, captained by Martin Wakelin, have started slowly but now that Martin is back to full fitness will shortly start to climb the table.

Adult social table tennis is on Thursdays from 6.00 to 7.00 pm, cost £3. Anyone wanting more information should contact Tony March by phone or text/WhatsApp on 07814 029471 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Otherwise, just turn up! All ages and standards welcome, including beginners. These sessions are particularly suitable for people who played when they were young but then career and kids got in the way and now want to get back into it thirty years later! Coaching is provided for those that want it. The important thing is to come and have fun!

Junior coaching for junior players is also on Thursdays, from 5.00 until 6.00 pm, cost £2.50. Again, either contact me as above or just turn up. Anyone from aged 8 or above is welcome to attend, including beginners. All table tennis takes place in the Burton Memorial Hall. During late November and early December, it is best to contact me first as the hall is booked for Xmas bingo and we will have to switch the day.

The KDTTL Junior League starts in the last the week of November and Burton will one team in each of the two divisions. Burton Badgers, with Zach Martin and Hugo Robinson, will play in Division 1 and Burton Bears, with Toby Craig and Eben Johnson, will represent Burton TTC in Division 2.
