Cris Sladden wins the Men's Singles in Southend Closed Championships 2009
Hullbridge Sports Club, Wednesday 25th February 2009
 
Southed Table Tennis Championships were played in two venues this year - Rayleigh Leisure Centre for the group qualifiers, quarterfinals & all restricted and the Hullbridge Sports Club for the other major finals - an excellent idea this from the AGM meeting earlier last year. There was not a single final or semi-final missed this year as we had a chance to see them all in one night.
The Closed Championships this year produced some of the most exiting matches we've seen so far in the recent Championships as the Southend League were boosted by many new strong players like Minda Sinkus and Marco Jovic also by the great comeback to the game of Kevin Caldon and Cris Sladden.
Two excellent matches in the Semifinals between C. Sladden & D. Taylor and S. Gibbs & K. Caldon brought Cris and Stuart to the final. Cris Sladden beat Stuart Gibbs 3-1 to win the Men's Singles trophy.
