Graham's champion at the double in Scotland Belfast Telegraph 24 January 2005
Peter Graham claimed two titles at the prestigious Glasgow and West of Scotland Open Championships, while Na Liu and Claire Nelson grabbed headlines at the British Women's League.

Graham (Dundonald) struck U-21 men's gold, finishing with a brilliant 5-set victory over close Anglo-Irish rival David Hayes, and then Graham teamed up with 15 year-old Keith Knox (Tyrone) to win the Junior boys doubles, defeating Scottish internationals Craig Howieson and Scott Johnston in 4 sets.

Ryan Jenkins (Wales) was the toast of the West of Scotland event in winning the Drumchapel Club 'Battle of Britain' over Alan Cooke (England) and continuing by taking the men's singles, while Daryl Strong and Philip Wallace (Queen's) caused a series of surprises before limping out of the men's doubles semi-final with Strong suffering a finger injury.

Irish Ladies took silver medals in both Premier and Division 2 of the British Women's League. DML Woolwell were premier winners after a 'games count-back calculation' despite Na Liu (Ulster) being joint with Markets Myskova (Woolwell) in the individual stakes. Michelle McGreevy (Darragh Cross) and Tara Fusco (Dublin) provided valuable support. Claire Nelson (Glenburn) performed well with six victories for Irish Ladies 2, such that Arthur Brett's squad of Amy Tobin and Sabrina Conway joined Nelson as they moved from 4th to 2nd behind Draycott and Long Eaton.

Action moves to the Valley Leisure Centre on Saturday for the Ulster Championships. Entries to the House of Sport (02890 383811) before Tuesday.

Munster Open 2004 Full article
The finals were played out in front of a good crowd, with invited guests including the Lord Mayor of Cork and the Munster members of Team Ireland Special Olympic Table Tennis Team and Team Ireland Head Coach Arthur Brett.

The ladies final saw Michelle McCreevy (Ulster), at the Munster Open for the first time, take out Irish No.1 Tara Fusco (Leinster) in a courageous semi final 11/13, 13/11,7/11, 11/5, 11/8. Elizabeth Dennett (Eng) one of Ireland's top juniors reached the ladies final for the second time in a row by beating Tara's sister Rhonda Fox in the other semi final 11/6, 7/11, 11/4, 10/12, 11/7. However Elizabeth wasn't able to topple Michelle and the ladies title took the long trip up to Belfast on a score of 13/11, 11/6, 4/11, 11/7.

Disappointment for Amanda in Junior Final
Elizabeth Dennett from England made it a good day for the foreign players taking the Junior title (Under-17) from Amanda Mogey (Ulster) 7/11, 11/9, 11/6, 15/13. In the semi-finals Amy Tobin took Elizabeth to the fifth set only to lose 11/7 and Fiona Mernagh took Amanda to four sets 11/6, 11/8, 5/11, 11/8. Amy finished 3rd with Fiona 4th. Amanda and Elizabeth now hold joint No.1 in the Irish rankings.

Athlone represented in Final
The winner of the U21 Mens title was Conor Fahy who overcame Darragh Keegan from Athlone in the final. This turned out to be a very exciting game 11/7, 9/11, 11/5, 9/11,11/6 with some fine table tennis being played in a see-saw battle. Brian Farrell finished 3rd with Simon Holohan 4th.

The winner of the U-17 Boys title was John Murphy who has a victory over Peter Graham in the final 11/7, 9/11, 11/9, 11/9. John took his revenge in the semi-final by beating David Hayes, who had beaten him in the senior event earlier in the day. Peter Graham overcame Keith Knox in the other semi-final 11/7, 13/11, 11/8. David finished 3rd with Keith 4th.

The Under-14 title went to the favourite, Keith Knox who had a victory over the improving Niall McDonnell 11/5, 9/11, 11/7, 11/8. Keith had earlier beaten Mark O'Flynn in one semi-final with Niall beating Gavin Maguire in the other semi. Even the ¾ playoff went to five sets with Mark beating Gavin 9/11, 13/11, 11/7, 7/11, 11/8.

MATCH RESULT Ulster 2 Tianjin 4

---

Ulster Women scored a brilliant success in the British Women's League by easily winning Division 1, with 9 wins and 1 draw. Tom Heasley's side of Jing Yi Gao, Jennifer Thompson and Nora Tallon promoted to the Premier Division and were declared the "Team of the Weekend". Irish Ladies missed out on Premier glory and could face Ulster in 2000!

Commonwealth glory was not to be in Singapore, with stiff opposition and difficult draws being the order of the event, with 19 nations entered. Best performance was reserved for Andrew Dennison and Andrea Glover who got to the Quarters of the Mixed Doubles. Men finished 11th, and Women took 8th place, AND sights are now set for India in 2001.

16 th Bangor Open was the best yet! Vincent O'Regan assembled the best field of players in Irealnd since the heady days of the 1991 Milk Irish Open in Maysfield when 13 nations played in front of capacity crowds

Sean McAnaney and Vincent pulled off a coup in attracting Lui Na and Wang Zi from China, with the 2 entertaining players acting as coaches to the Ulster Junior Squad

The North Down Institute of F&HE proved to be an adequate venue for the record entry of over 100 players, but Bradley Billington stole the show with a hat-trick of titles in Men's Singles (over Marco Essomba), MD with Essomba and XD with Nicola Deaton (England)

Michelle McGreevy (Raffrey) came of age in the Irish National Championships by adding her first National Women's title to the Leinster Open victory, defeating Tara Bollard (recently spotted in Hollywood!), and sharing the WD with Andrea Glover

Ulster failed to make an impact in either the Abbey Centre Senior Inter-Provincial Championships in the Valley Leisure Centre or in Cork at the Junior Championships, taking silver or bronze across the board.
