The finals of both the Oswestry Handicap Knock-Out and Consolation competitions took place this week and it was good news for Knockin Table Tennis Club.

The final of the D Roberts Senior Handicap Knock Out Shield pitched first division runners up, Kinnerley Knights against Morda Pumas of division two.

It was a daunting task for the Pumas and they were a little short of form on the night against tough opponents.

The Knights kept their composure and, in the end, ran out winners by 40 points.
