Remembering Billy Goldie

News

It was with great sadness that we heard of the recent passing of Billy Goldie. Billy was Club President for some 20 years circa 1973 to 1993 and he was the clubs’ link to the local press. He was integral to DTTC building its current premises in Shakespeare Street in 1988, and helped to make it the first purpose-built table tennis club in the country. Without him, the club would not be what it is today – still with one of the best table tennis facilities in Scotland.

Billy had great support from his family, and his daughter played in her youth and again after having a family. Outside table tennis, he was an ardent Queen of the South fan, loved his gardening and had a wry sense of humour! He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Shannon for Scotland

News
We are delighted to announce that our star junior player Shannon Brown has been selected by Table Tennis Scotland to represent her country in the European Table Tennis Union Youth Championships in Malmo, Sweden this July. 
 
Shannon will represent Scotland as part of the Junior Girls Team alongside Megan Mulhern and Amelia Smolarek from Drumchapel Table Tennis Club. Together they will face the top Junior Girls from across Europe in Team, Singles and Doubles events. This is a huge accolade for Shannon and richly deserved for all her hard work as she’s battled back to full fitness over the last 18 months. 
 
Thanks to our club sponsors Your Move Fusion Renewables Ltd Genesis OHS Tees Sport for all their support, and club members and supporters can help Shannon with their own sponsorship donations to help fund her travel, accommodation, sustenance, equipment, and pre-tournament preparation. Click this link to donate via GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/8729e367. Every little helps to cover costs and allow Shannon to concentrate on performing at her peak.

End of Season League Report

News
These are the final standings across the three divisions for the Your Move Dumfries Table Tennis League 2023-24.
 
Massive congratulations to our newly crowned champions of Division 1, Gaulty Towers, for a tremendous season in winning the league by 19 points. Hot on their heels next season will surely be Top Bananas looking to regain their title, who unfortunately had to withdraw from the league this season due to injuries. The race for 2nd place was bitterly contested and in the end only 3 points separated 2nd to 4th place! Well done to Smashing Pumpkins for finishing runner-ups and indeed to Shannon Brown as the leading individual average.
 
Table Toppers’ Anne Borrowdale and Jim Hutchinson lived up to their team name in Division 2 by capturing the title, although they were pushed to the limit by Two Slips and a Gully – a great performance from the young duo Corey Dawson and Isaac Ishmael in their debut season. Unfortunately injuries plagued a number of teams in Division 2 leading to a couple of early withdrawals – best wishes to them for a speedy recovery and we will hopefully see them next season! Well done to Anne for winning the averages with an impressive 94%.
 
Division 3 was dominated by the invincible Blade Runners, with Graeme and Finley Boyd remaining undefeated in competitive play all season. Olivia Maxwell and Boyd Telfer of Double Trouble finished the season solidly in 2nd place, and will take lots of encouragement from their debut season in the league.
