The second event in the Matrix TT Super Series saw some thrilling action at the Howard School in Gillingham, with Faversham’s Harry Law taking the honours.

Sixty-four players from home and abroad were divided into eight groups for a round-robin stage, with the top two from each section qualifying for the knockout rounds.

Alongside two-time and reigning Kent doubles champion Law in the knockout section were Gillingham’s Johann Kim and Perry Oliver, Ashford players Q Yat Chan, Andrew Holdstock, Luke Holdstock and Jordan Brocker, Sittingbourne’s Rikki Clarke, Herne Bay’s Keane Li and Benenden’s Diccon Gray.

From further afield were Moldova’s Gicu Litovcenco and Romania’s Alex Anghel, and they were joined by Eugene Gamboa, Dolma Lama, Evgeni Genchev and Dan Howard.

Following two rounds of tense action, the semi-finals saw Law edge Anghel 3-1 while Litovcenco beat Oliver 3-0 with Law winning the final 3-1.

The Super Series was launched to give the county’s players an opportunity to participate in tournaments separate from local-league competitions, with national ranking points up for grabs. Four more events are planned for this year, with the next competition set to take place on May 10 again at the Howard.

Organiser Joe Britnell said: “The event was a huge success with so many positive comments I have taken on board.

“There is definitely lots to improve on and I am taking the feedback to use for future events.

“The event is first and foremost for the players and therefore the feedback is invaluable and I thank them for their ongoing support and commitment.

“I thank our sponsors San Tivanaram and Canterbury Kinetic Therapy for their support with refreshments and muscle therapy on the day and thank you, too, to umpire Malcolm Kay and to Benjapan Sage for providing us with an exceptional spread of food ranging from traditional Thai to British snack cuisine.”
