Freezing conditions didn’t put the players off at the seasons
3<sup>rd</sup> dragon tournament held on the 18<sup>th</sup> of December. 19
under 11s arrived at 9am and battled it out for the trophies. However there
were no surprises at this dragon as Jake Simeone from Mumbles TTC won his second under 11
dragon with team mate Luca Caplin coming runner up, with Cade Short 3<sup>rd</sup>.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
In the under 15s the winner was Huw Standen and runner up
was Macauley Morgan.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
16 under 13s took part in their event which started at 1pm.
The event being wide open as none of the top 3 finishers from Novembers dragon
had entered. A truly exciting event ensured, the final top group saw 3 players
on 2 wins each. Countback was used to separate the top 3, leaving an unlucky
Niall Owen 3<sup>rd</sup>, Morgan Hams runner up and Elliot Weinberg in 1<sup>st</sup>
place. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The dragon format will change in 2012, with a new under 9
age group (under 9 years of age on 31<sup>st</sup> Aug 2011), thereby
reflecting the large numbers of younger players coming through the Primary
Schools initiatives funded by TTAW. </div>

Since then he has been a major part of the Club  attending virtually all sessions  he could and has coached tirelessly  without asking anything back from those around him.  Indeed, he gained  great pleasure form ‘being there’ and ‘helping others to learn the game’.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
He also had a great impact and a huge help to Aled Howell the Regional Coach. Joe always found the time to help out at any time of the day to coach the youngsters.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Joe lost his wife to cancer about 10 years ago.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Approximately 8 to 10 weeks ago, Joe was taken ill and it was found he had  kidney stones.  However, just 11 days ago he was rushed back into hospital  where he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Joe died peacefully Sunday morning at approximately 5.15 am in his sleep. His  family, son Andrew and daughter Janet were with him. Two of his grandchildren  were down here as well. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The funeral will take place on Tuesday the 20th of December. Family and friends to meet at St Cain Church Llangain at <strong>10:30 am  Tuesday 20th December 2011.</strong> This will be followed by a cremation at <strong>Llanelli Crematorium at  12 noon.</strong></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Our thoughts and condolences go to all his family.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Joe will be sadly missed.</span></div>

2 WEST WALES CHAMPS AT DRAGON EVENT

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A record entry of 61 young players battled in the main hall for the 6 trophies on offer in the second Dragon of the season. The record entry caused a few problems for the organisers who will have to limit entries for the next Dragon to be held on the 18th of December, so get your entries off early to be sure of a place. The atmosphere in the main hall was electric as dragon players shared the hall with day 2 of the Senior Team Championships. Under 11s and Under 15s got under way bright and early at 9am, entries in both event far exceeding those received for the last Dragon. The larger entry brought some shock results as the winners from all 3 events at the last dragon were swept away by the tide of new talent. The under 11s winner was <strong><span style="color: red;">Jake Simeone (Swansea),</span></strong> whilst the runner up was last under 11s champion Joseph Roberts (Cardiff).<br />
<br />
In the Under 15s Jack Fletcher (Bargoed) went one better than last time winning, from runner up Macauley Morgan (Cardiff). 3 of the top finishers in the under 15s have now entered next Sundays Blaenau Gwent Open, and it will be interesting to see the gap between the more established stars and the dragon contenders.<br />
<br />
No sooner had the organisers finalised the under 11 and under 15 placings, when 31 under 13 players stormed the organisers desk to be signed in.<br />
<br />
Again the tide of new talent swept aside the winners of the last under 13 dragon, no fewer than 5 new players finishing above the last under 13 champion. In the end Steffan Griffiths took the win from James Beadle, the end coming at 6.30pm as staff were clearing the hall!<br />
Still, a great day of table tennis for the new players, lots of matches, lots of fun, certificates for all, and trophies for the lucky (but talented) few.<br />

Disability Day

On the 8th of November a Table Tennis Disability Day took part in both Llanelli and Carmarthen. This allowed youngsters from all over Carmarthenshire to take part in table tennis for the very first time. Over 90 youngsters attended the event held by Table Tennis Association Wales in partnership with Carmarthenshire County Council, Sport Wales, Llanelli Table Tennis Club, Carmarthen Table Tennis Club and Wales Disabled Table Tennis Academy run by Head Coach Jim Munkley. Before each session the kids had a taster of how table tennis can be played from Development Coach Aled Howell, European Medallist and GB Squad player Paul Karabardak plus the Academy members from the Welsh Squad. After the quick exhibition everyone got a chance to participate in a number of games set up on a number of tables.  <br />
<br />
A big thank you goes out to everyone who attended and made it a great success. Pictures will be put up shortly.<br />

Dragon

The 1<sup>st</sup> Dragon of the season took place on Sunday
9<sup>th</sup> of October in the main hall at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">National</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Centre</st1:placename>
 <st1:placename w:st="on">Sophia</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Gardens</st1:placename></st1:place>.
As usual many were playing in their first tournament and it was a real thrill
for these new players to be playing in the same hall as the best juniors in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Wales</st1:place></st1:country-region> who were
contesting Junior Team Championships. The under 11s group with 10 entries got
underway at 9am together with the older under 15s. It was great to see the new
players and parents and some impressive playing followed. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Whitchurch</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place>
players coached by Simon Oyler dominated the under 15s event with Hugh Standen
securing the win in a close battle against newcomer and surprise of the under
15s Jack Fletcher. The under 11s saw players from all over the south region
taking part, just missing out on a trophy finishing 3<sup>rd</sup> was Cade
Short, runner up was Luca Caplin and winner was Joseph Roberts. A special
mention goes to highest finishing female player Lydia John who finished in 4<sup>th</sup>
place overall.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The under 13s started as usual at 1pm and a few keen under
11 entrants had a go at the older age group, thereby making the most of their
trip to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Cardiff</st1:city></st1:place>.
Incredibly 3 players claimed top honours all on 4 wins each in the final group.
The organisers had to revert to counting sets and the final top 3 were; 3<sup>rd</sup>
John Clarke, 2<sup>nd</sup> Joseph Roberts and the winner was Elliot Weinberg.
This result shows how close the competition is the Dragons and the importance
of trying to win every point. The next Dragon will take place on Sunday 20<sup>th</sup>
of November 2011, again in the main hall at the National<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Centre so be sure to get your entry forms
sent off early.</div>
