2019 ATTA Training & Round Robin Competition

​

The ATTA Training & Round Robin Competition for 2019 took place at the Aldershot Garrison Sports Centre (AGSC) on 10 to 11 Oct 19. This continued the annual Event for the fifth year running with plenty of entries with a total of approximately 35 players taking part. Players had a fantastic training package to start with by our special guest coach Alison, which was followed by the Round Robin Competition itself organised by WO2 John McFaul, our ATTA Coach who also provided some coaching as well. The standard was very high and and there were plenty of worthy 'trophy' winners. This Event is a great way to start the new season encouraging new players to the sport along with being great preparation for the upcoming Army Training & Championships in February 2020 (which took place just in time) and the Inter-Services 2020 as well. However things soon changed when the 2020 & 2021 Inter-Services and Army Training & Round Robin Competition were cancelled due to COVID-19; noting in 2022 both Events did return. There were several previously unseen players plus a healthy representation from the Army Reserve and our top players. The eventual trophy winners were:

 

- Round Robin Competition Open 'Singles' Winner: Ben

​

- Round Robin Competition Open 'Singles' Runner Up: Kiran

​

- Ladies 'Singles' Winner: Hilary

​

- Ladies 'Singles' Runner Up: Nicola

​

- Open 'Plate' Winner: Padam

​

- Open 'Plate' Runner Up: Rupak

​

- Merit Award One: Nikki

​

- Merit Award Two: Suresh
