WITH the first half of the Malvern Table Tennis League season coming to an end, the draw for the first round of the league's Handicap Competition was made at a recent meeting.

It will be interesting to see how the junior players, acquitting themselves well in Division Three, adjust to the demands of players from the top two Divisions.

The draw is:-

Crackpots E v Manor Park Amateurs; Ledbury Merlins v Manor Park Oak; Manor Park Express Juniors v Ledbury Lions; Ledbury Exhaust - Bye; Manor Park Express v Poolbrook Rangers; Manor Park Pumas v Grosvenor Eagles; CSSC Rovers v Malvern Juniors A; Upton v CSSC Nomads; YMCA Vulcans v Abbeydowne; Crackpots B v YMCA Magpies; Malvern Juniors C v Manor Park Wombats; Malvern Juniors B v Broadheath Bellters; Bromyard Buzzards - Bye; Police A v Manor Park Travellers; Crackpots C v Manor Park Maulers; CSSC Trojans v CSSC Ramblers.
