Jimmy Yeung continued his hot form at an historic event this week.

The Southampton Table Tennis Closed Tournament celebrated its 75th anniversary and, to mark the occasion, there was a feast of action the event’s forefathers would have been proud of.

Hosted byWaterside TTC in Totton, Yeung, from the Generation II club in Fareham, beat Martin Matuzevicius in the men’s final.

That continued the teenage ace’s blistering season that saw him win the Hamp-shire Championships singles and doubles events at junior level.

The final saw the 15-year-old triumph 11-5, 11-6, 9-11, 12-10, 11-7 against the Portsmouth based player. Yeung also won the men’s doubles with Billy Ho, beating Matuzevicius and Brian Hayes 11-7, 11-8, 7-11, 11-9.

Youngster Artur Caltabiano won the Junior final, beating Southampton West’s Richard White 11-3, 11-6, 12-10. In the women’s doubles final, Anne Longland and Sarah Warwick, from Southampton West, romped to victory 11-7, 11-2, 11-5 against Katie Holt and Sue Zanelottli (Waterside).

“It was a brilliant evening of table tennis,” said tournament secretary Colin French. “There was a healthy crowd at the venue, proof that table tennis is thriving in the local area.”
