e e ofy going welcome everybody to the Open men’s ones um today so as I was saying York open ones today for York we have M we have Max who is div one player w three qu of his games is Swiss we have OE Newton plays Ultimate Frisbee and was um made the squash team the university squash team but didn’t have time to commit um we have R who is had a 30% win rate for local leagues in division one um apparently the most improved player for the ones and Jacob P who’s a postgraduate doing public policy 30% win rate not for the university in local league but for wigging team incredible player and for Lancaster we have Marcus who’s Swiss with a huge forehand um Troy played um was a number one seed player in his Province in China um played with someone who’s in the Chinese B team and made the third stage of knockout and buck individuals this year um we have Henrik who also just battered theor York B team in badminton today um that an incredible player Marcus he’s also Swiss has has a massive forehand sorry I think I said that Archie who is the aam captain um and I’ve been told his incredible defense so what a lineup we have um looking forward to watching this as it stands looks like all the matches have started um with Lancaster seeming to be on top for most of the tables Henrik with a lucky neck B but still dominating oh Edge Ed shot all way a different table ra serving fortunate fortunate placement unfortunate placement for Lancaster um don’t know the scores at the moment but it’s looking like Lancaster is on top on many of the [Music] tables you scor the matches go on [Music] hello so joining me on commentary is Toby from last year’s table tennis team and current Table on his team yes I’m very sorry to uh uh have to commentate on this I’m sure you won’t like it but hopefully I’ll try and do my best job it’s a bit of an emergency cover I’m afraid so I’ll just try and say as much I can and hopefully not annoy you too much thank you Jacob unfortunately hit the net went over the back of the table unfortunate situation it’s currently on the back foot as Troy still putting the pressure has not taken his beanie off making right work of any opponent in his way over years Ole Newton attacking Henrik on Far table OE couldn’t get it to stick off the table and that’s another Point here Henrik for Lancaster Archie the aam captain misses the misses the shot off the edge of the table raph’s point and now serving great attacking play from Raph could not get it back walk seems to have the momentum on many of the tables forcing Troy to make error Max is what a point there sorry for interrupting but it’s a really good shot there and uh the lanc has player must very happy with that at the same time we also have TJ the current Sports um USU Sports officer playing against I think Vice Chancellor for Lancaster some side Spin and good technique from someone who does not play table turn at University level basketball sport but playing very well nice technique actually an incredible tou been like taking shot so how’s it gone so far do you think um because I’ve only just arrived obviously so it seems like Lancaster is on on top at the moment but not by much with Lancaster some very strong players oh yes including Henrik who’s just take Made Easy work of the binton B Team um and try who played was seed number one in his Province in China wow so really top players that they’ve got in Lancaster theor is putting up a good fight yeah definitely definitely great games and great points to watch two really good points in a row there from Raph that was really good he’s facing the current 18 captain of Lancaster Archie and the crowd in attendance seems to be waiting for something to happen but great points nonetheless often having to pass back balls because the tables close together but unfortunate from Henrik just went over the edge of table great Lo from Troy yeah defense was not strong enough from Jacob AB unfortunately he does have a tendency to only win three out of four patches including the one in his last huge attack from Jak once again but could not get it to land really has to commit everything he’s got to these attacks cuz Troy is a top player Sim similarly for Ole Newton hits the net on his second big smash can’t can’t get the points Henrik there um taking the win for Ole over Ole Newton um with a huge backand once again making easy work of the York racket Sports scene will we see him later on in squash tennis P pickable whatever who knows maybe he’ll broaden his Horizons but he’s playing incredible today in several Sports one would have thought that maybe his his fatigue would get the better of him but absolutely not he’s he’s still on top form as energetic as he was at 9:00 a.m. at the beginning of the seem to be taking Break um all the matches finished or first set’s finished per chance um now we have other players on the vice CH Vice Chancellor’s Court oh that’s pick the um the who is the I think the one of the leading the leaders of Yu organization um I think they’re just still warming up or they’re they’re hopping into a match now Pi can he represent York not quite knocks over the edge of the table um okay now we have Raph back on against Archie incredible Ser rapid ball movement but rap not hits it into the net seems like one love to Archie Archie does the same thing hits into the net can’t get now we have Max warming up with Henrik um an international player from Switzerland Max playing against International player from China in Henrik um or Hong Kong really seems to be no flaws in his game in the warm- up similarly o Newton’s warming up with OE Newton Lefty Waring up with umy blue for those of you just tuning in um like this is the men’s sorry the open first team um of table tennis um with a side commentary the vice Chancellor’s match um for table hello so I’ve just come back from a score update and we can confirm what Theo was saying um mostly the at the moment uh Lancaster are definitely on top uh every single second team men’s game has ended in a victory for Lancaster I think most team straight sets as well and I know that every uh victory in the uh men’s ons has also gone to Lancaster in straight sets as well and we knew this coming into itraid because like um obviously we want to try our best but at Lancaster Infamous for having amazing tablet facilities and team I we mentioned some of the players earlier um in terms of what next obviously we going to continue to try our best and hopefully uh upsets on the cards but we’ll see what happens um this is coming from orpc obviously I don’t try to be too biased uh but I’ve know actually some people who do come to Lancaster University specifically because of the taable T facilities because it’s quite Infamous in in uh in uh terms of table’s enthusiasts about how good their facilities are um well they were able to train so obviously everyone’s making a great effort and we’ll just continue to give score updates when possible that’s you you so yeah unfortunately not the results um not very even results um pretty similar to last year’s um Lancaster white wash or red wash as you if you if you will um but incredible table tennis nonetheless do tune in to watch um both sides have incredible table tennis players it seems that Lancaster taking the edge on every front at the moment Henrik play saying that Henrik from Lancaster hits it straight into the net the Lancaster first seed player he’s playing against Max Max a fundamentally incredibly sound player with the serve amazingy there unfortunately the loop didn’t hit the his edge of the table couldn’t get it to go on the second court or another Court got OE Newton um as you mentioned incredible all round athlete um plays Ultimate Frisbee for the University managed to get into the squash University squash team but chose not to play he’s also playing volleyball as well I think yeah plays plays um he Mountain volleyball has competed in racket Lawns previously um truly an outstanding athlete around amazing athlete yeah all around yeah yeah saying this is finy difficulty facing Troy from no not Troy facing Marcus from Switzerland in the blue it’s a difficult matchup but Allan playing in the twos right now unlucky there got a new match up for the vice Chancellor’s match two players who I do not recognize but seem to be far older than student age um lovely fundamentals from both players but potentially pass their athletic Prime D I say great sportsmanship though both sides we love to see involved throughout the University Systems at all levels Marcus Just Hits h a smash over the edge of the table couldn’t kill it as does Max for York the Deep chop from Henrik it was difficult from Max good serve there from Max very solid serve tough yeah tough Ser from Henrik for a net a shot into the net from Max twice in a row must be difficult he’s top play now we have Jacob Paul up against Archie team captain against the fourth seed players playing against each other saying this may undermine how really incredible table tennis players they are some of the finest table tennis players in the north representing the not just uh um the university table tennis teams respectively but Yorkshire and Lancaster this is the the biggest inter University Varsity um Sports competition of all of Europe so it really is a big deal at the moment Lancaster is leading in overall points um we’re looking for tight game as last year’s um Lancaster took took the win over York in York which is a a big upset for a lot of people but great performances all around including in the table tennis it was Lancaster who yeah took the win at the moment is 83 to Lancaster and 58 to York um on the overall Rose’s score we need or the winner needs 172.5 points to win um to make it a majority um so everything still to play for um incredible matchups um sorry if you heard [Applause] that um so yeah on the second team we have slightly more success um Joe HST the current president of the University of York table tennis team um wonderful to hear evening out the results iring out the results maybe just a little bit but it’s wonderful to see great competition back on Marcus and OE Newton um seems that Marcus is leading the way OE to serve forces a shot into the net from Marcus um yeah truly outstanding difficult to return sures like that massive attack from ole and he gets the point I think um still warming up from Troy and Raph it’s going to be a big matchup um obviously R being second year it’s now um really cemented his way into the University of York first team an incredible player nice point from Jacob there let for Jacob that’s huge Loop smashing against Henrik that was an amazing point for mat wasn’t it incredible incredible Henri couldn’t get it back with the last Stitch attempt to get it to hit it back on the table but was just too far away incredible shot from Max unfortunately couldn’t keep the momentum hits it off the net and over the table Henrik serve now against Max um huge amounts of spin to force Max to knock it off the edge push does not go another great hit there from Max yeah huge Sid spin serve from Jacob Paul for a difficult return from Archie and a great attack tried the same same serve and return tactic as before couldn’t get the smash on the table just over the [Applause] edge Archard serve pushing rally Archer attacks it a point to Archie now hit straight into the net by Jacob he does not have a consistency of a top player like Archie from Lancaster it seems the match between Max and Henrik of Lancaster have um has ended um I believe a win oh no sorry another set enri Ser though deep Push by Max in a huge attack Jacob is got his head in his hands there with that one so unlucky the consistency of the Y players is really is really what’s bringing them down cannot get the um fundamentals um to land these loops and pushes keep going over the edge or into the net we need to see but this is what happens when you have a team like Lancaster with a huge reputation of an incredible table tennis facility um against a team such as York with Incredible players but without such Prestige and without a coach Fant oh wow Troy huge attack Raph gets it back twice in a row but third time does not land lovely attack by Raph against another raising Point by Max to against his opponent trying to fight back as well as he can amazing to see it some great points seeing here today it’s really what we came here for another great point from Jacob too yeah arie’s defense was strong but when it brushed the net was Chang the trajectory and difficult to get back I would also like to apologize if uh this seems quite York focused um it’s both both the commentators today are more familiar with the York players than the lter players so unfortunately uh that is is we’re trying our best but um this may be the case defense from Troy is huge unfortunately is it is a penetrable defense OE makes it work gets the attack um wins the point the consistency of the defense is truly inspiring from a player such as Troy Henrik with an ambitious backhand smash from Deep behind the table doesn’t doesn’t get it to land but it truly would be a show stoer if it does we’ love to see play like that [Applause] J could pull with the attack over the edge of the table unfortunate seems he’s frustrated with himself can’t does not have the consistency at the moment and he’s getting in his own head aggressive serve and but once again the loop does does not land clearly it’s a mental game more than anything else for Jacob we know he has the quality but he it seems to be his um his own head which is causing him to miss these shots amazing point between Ole and his opponent now look at this for so long huge attack by Ole wins him the point that’s consistency that we need but we’ve been lacking throughout this fixture Massive Attack Henrik with an incredible backhand smash oh Archie’s serve too good massive spin Jacob can’t doesn’t make contact unfortunate for Max tries to do it very sorry push with a lot of Back Spin um but doesn’t get to land I believe that’s the game to Henrik the multi racket sport player once again making light work of Yorks racket sport Department Surf and W now returns o UNL there good return by the Lancaster opponent there made it very hard to get over the net oh OE Newton with a snake return easily and it’s into pushing rally and it’s Marcus who gets the win from that point he just has that little bit of class little bit of extra training that really gives him the edge with in a sport like table tennis where the margins are mean so much sometimes it does mean the some just a little bit extra training um is what what makes the yeah wins you the points wins you the matches and in the end wins you a competition such as roses Top Class stuff from all these players now back on Max and Henri back on for third set potentially oh two consecutive netsh shot or necks Max is the one who fell victim in the end Max with a lazy attacking shot hit over the edge of the table let look at backs now huge Lo not quite in Jacob with a huge s spin on his back hand serve it seems to be a specialty makes it work but does not get the Finish game between Troy and rap is about to begin again yeah R’s the first point Marcus’s huge toss almost two m in the air maybe um a 2 m toss truly intimidating um and seemingly very effective against ol Newton his opponent now it’s olle Newton serve in that match another amazing Point going on between Max and his opponents a lot of lot of Loops oh and the Lancaster player wins to net shot it’s fun to see loops and smashes happening especially when they all connect exactly just like in Jacob Paul and yeah and Archie had a shot maybe 15 shot rally both ending up shot a couple meters behind the table incredible scenes we love to see it do tune in and follow the Instagram at Rose official roses live with all the information about scheduling which matches are when um and more information about the Roses event Jacob Paul and Archie again with outstanding rally unfortunately the shot into the net causes the net to break on that that really does show how powerful some table T shots can be exactly um yeah Top Class stuff fix the net and getting straight back to it a lot chopping going on oh what a lovely smash oh incredible very solid defense from Max but not solid enough Henrik forces the error and that’s the win for Henrik o is going do surve now I think that might be an edge shot there’s an apology from the Lancaster opponent there of course they still do all count but it’s good sportsmanship to always apologize if those happen Jacob Paul with consistent attack backand um Top Spin shots off the third one RG the Lancaster a team captain could not get it back but does win the next point rafh and Troy back into it after conversation potentially an altercation but with RAF to serve now oh after a neck Ru by Troy Raph hits it straight into the now unfortunately big point for Troy looking calm as ever beanie still on very LAX in his movement nonchalant about his skill and his his true class when it comes to table tennis we have reason to believe he’s played against um players in the current Chinese B team so this should will not the pressure from this will not intimidate him net hit there from ole apologizing again Obviously good sportsmanship as we always like to see from all of our Sports and Roses Jacob with a huge win of his set or I believe he’s got his spirits up now no longer hanging his head in shame as he was with an unfortunate run of shots proudly boasting his score to the scor keepers all with great sportsmanship though I believe raap is unique in the first but from both York and lanc because I believe he’s the only player that plays the penhold grip you can see how he holds the uh his paddle differently and also um his P actually has a different shape to match his style of play it really provides a unique skill set but a skill set that rap has ever since he’s come to the University of York he’s been amongst the top players um winning matches in the Bucks and local League now in division one um with a 30% win rate um yeah incredible play forces Henrik to hit the ball into net with top SP [Applause] shot oh Arie now serve against Jacob Paul ball goes into the other arena with Henrik and Raph disrupting play but of course what can you do now it’s Jacob serve against Archie huge spin oh he’s frustrated with himself again he getting in his own head this was this seemed to be his downfall earlier but maybe this is how he plays won the last set so you never know does it work for him we will see a huge attacking forehand down the line from Jacob P defense is not strong enough from Archie to get it back oh big looping rally between Archie and Jacob again Jacob misses the final shot and once again team very upset with himself there we go similarly Archie makes hits a massive Top Spin backhand off the edge of the table um it’s a game of temperaments at the moment um huge personalities but great table tennis for us to watch so really we are the winners no matter the outcome of the game it’s always so mesmerizing to see high level table tennis being played absolutely very therapeutic as some as I say expect see all support as well from both Lancaster and New York and stands yeah absolutely the Sports Hall one of Lancaster sports arena is absolutely packed um the bleaches are filled with fans come to watch um come to watch the table tennis in Lancaster for Roses Troy with the sub let against Wrath I try to serve now just about missing the return uh and gives Troy the point currently we have just Troy and Raph Troy against Raph and Jacob against Archie playing Jacob with a huge winning Point amazing amazing um with two of the other open um ones matches being vacant and the vice Chancellor’s matches being vacant um do check the Roses official website um official roses. co.uk to find out all the scores um from roses great surve there from uh Jacob very low over the net a lot of B spin very hard to uh get the lift to get it back over the net again perfect serve it’s a great snake from Archie a lot of spin not necessarily easy to decipher from Jacob so I’m just trying to get to get to the names because obviously it’s the last minute appointment and I haven’t got the list but I’m trying my best so ah okay Troy Ser against Raph big forehand lift from Raph does not land R go slightly long long again yeah once again the net has broken or come off on the table where Jacob and Archie are playing technical yeah technical malfunctions but no malfunctions in the quality of play we see top stuff by both sides with Lancaster definitely taking the edge ter as long another great Serve by Jacob against his opponent Archie Raph also serving nice short Back Spin shot um easy return it seemed from Troy and see Jacob apologizing there it’s almost like rolled across the net and decided to go over so uh big sportsmanship again there from Jacob I think that may have ended the game between Arch and Jak that time yeah similarly it seems the game between Troy and Raph is over um tactical advice being offered by olle and Chloe regular at UI BC sorry UI University of York table T Club you’d hate to lose on an sh absolutely it’s heartbreaking to see and the points you lose seem not to be your own your own fault but just a bit of luck does what table T is quite exciting though because there’s always that possibility that you get a shot that cannot be returned absolutely absolutely um add another layer of risk um and excitement now we have Archie and Jacob pull on back underway um Jacob serve another back’s been side sorry backand side’s been serve one of his favorites um it seems makes it work oh incredible serve yeah UNR returnable um by Archie you may notice that uh Archie is using a different shaped bat to so B you might usually see he’s using a hexagonal shaped cyber shaped bat which is uh becoming uh more popular after it was recently unveiled a few years back there you go Troy attempts a huge lift from underneath the table but does not to get to land doesn’t have the speed or power to get over the net in fact RAF to serve now a lift attempted by Troy once again in into the net Raph with the momentum and the serve oh I say that and he loses the point um once again hitting the net brushes the net and over the edge of the table from Raph despite the absolute class that he’s displaying it seems like he’s on the back foot often with a nonchalant Troy still wearing his beanie um Co collect today exactly not overheating not probably not even breaking a sweat huge attack from Troy um defense from raap does not make the table Jacob aiming for more consistent rallies taking taking a bit of pace off but still making error oh there you go turn there Jacob absolutely hammering in it but calmly returned by Archie dropping Jacob dropping the bat in the process I reckon Jacob thought he’d won that one you know absolutely with a huge attack like that I would yeah like that but to return it incredible it’s truly mizing to see these reaction times are only off at the elite level of sports uncanny to the average person such as myself now we have Henrik um warming up against uh Marcus yeah huge Top Spin shot overcommits himself [Applause] been having a fun uh Hendrick and Marcus in the warm up was like an exhibition match almost now we’re back to just Ary and Jacob playing serious match Jacob misses connection with the ball after a massive um push a lot of backs beenin difficult to read push oh un fortunate hits rushes the net and that seems to be a win for Archie captain of the um university 18 was I just saying how awful it would be to lose a match on a net yeah exactly it’s a difficult situation to be in um you have to always be prepared for that as T ten player though still good sportsmanship all around um yeah OE Newton Max and Raph all um sharing tips and advice definitely some sort of s definitely some sort of exhibition match going on with uh between hendrik and uh Marcus we see some uh hits between the legs and stuff uh and some uh cricket hits we like to say with two uh two hands they’re definitely having fun with it while they warm up for their next game really Def and attack yeah we’re currently in a break as matches finished you’re going to see a rotation amongst players um we look forward to seeing what the next matchups are going to be um hopefully with some more even seeming matches up the comment are in L an head shot from Marcus in the WM UPS pings it across the hall once again if you want any more updates about the Roses um above and beyond um the table tennis do head to the Instagram official roses live or the website www. uh roses live.co.uk I think something along those lines I’m sure you’ll be able to find it if you look hard enough um currently Lancaster are leading um the points overall but definitely not an unrecoverable lead um we love to be in this stage of the the event where it’s still anybody’s um for the taking OE Newton and Troy are on for the next match up currently warming up should be an incredible uh match looking forward to watching following the um open second teams matches that’s currently going on at the moment and the the ladies matches two of um York’s finest table tennis players um unfortunately we would have been unable to field a third because our the third player is currently injured um truly incredible player but could not make it today and there’s that KC power Flynn Kendall most improved player this year currently with an incredible block um playing some wonderful table tennis he’s um a sophomore of the University of York Table Tennis Club um taking on responsibility of Treasurer midseason um he’s playing some great table tennis it seems oh unfortunately does not make the uh make the smash looking back at the open ones it looks like it’s still OE Newton and Troy warming up um already um it seems Troy is the far more nonchalant calm about the situation um beanie still on of course um potentially this is less about him being calm and just a fashion statement um yeah yeah pink beanie looking wonderful the black and white um strip from the University of York table tennis players looking equally gorgeous this year theyve opted for a student Minds sponsor which is a a charity which um helps students with struggling with mental health do check them out donate and help what you can on another call on another table we have Raph warming up with Marcus we look forward to the matchup um soon I have a slight score update I was talking to Raph and I was talking to Jacob and in the last match not only did Jacob lose on a net point he also lost after being at 22 in in sets which is really the worst thing that could happen isn’t it that’s tough that’s a tough defeat really unfortunate of course T is first to three 22 is the uh closest you can get without winning if you end up losing from that position truly heartbreaking all that hard work two sets one and you lose on a net net cord it’s it’s a tough one but at that point you got to you keep your chin up and keep going don’t let to pray on your conscience for the next matches to come really just show that York do have a Fighting Chance they’re trying really hard and they’re definitely improving the result absolutely another Improvement is that uh Raph has played two matches and he’s actually won one of his two matches incredible so congratulations R okay soer off the uh starting blocks if as you say exactly um the match between Troy and all Newton has commenced um Raph and marus still warming up Henrik waiting for Jacob um to return and Max and uh Archie warming up also the vice Chancellor’s table continues to remain vacant maybe that’s finished even just watching the warm-ups shows how incredibly talented and hardworking these these players are the consistency with which for hands uh back hands just pushing it um speeds that yeah masterful to watch it seems great point there by Ollie against uhan rfh and Marcus about start RAF to serve oh Troy with a huge kill against Ole Newton a net shot that was returned wow and then smashed by Troy R and Marcus after a huge Point 15 20 shots maybe first point of the of the match sign of good things to come do tune in to watch this incredible match [Applause] play Oh unfortunate Raph went for the round the net shot after a strong push out wide by Marcus doesn’t make it land but the ambition is commendable OE Newton struggling to get a grip against Troy at the moment very difficult opponent as we’ve seen Troy to serve um Ole can’t get it um hits it over the edge of the table difficult with a huge amount of spin the deception not easy to read but really shows you the class of these players when OE Newton um EX extremely successful in the div one of in Yorkshire but still finds himself puzzled by the um the serves given to him by a top player such as Troy these players really are the best the best of the best [Music] exactly there is always a bigger fish as they say indeed especially in table tennis which is why I find table tennis so lovely and accessible in terms of sports because I think a lot of people I play table tennis competently but it’s always a higher level you can get to there’s really no skill cap really is there absolutely and with also an um a very low entry level so it’s easy very accessible to everyone who wants to get involved so there is no limitations Jacob Paul and Henrik underway Jacob winning the first point after Henrik overshoots is Top Spin forand Max against Archie is also underway Max forces an error from [Applause] Arie for a second time in a row now all to serve against Troy on another Court good spin big attack raap serving now V marus big rally but once again going great hit by Hendrick there yeah incredible accuracy right on the edge not not quite an edge shot but yeah pinpoint accuracy that’s what you expect from someone the first seed of an incredibly strong T table tennis team such as lancasters Arie with a great hit there against Max com lobbing rally going on oh Jacob just missed it against head in his hands after a missed smash I know I said it earlier but they’re always really fun lobbing Ries one person just lobs it up the other person smashes the other person lobs it up again it’s got to end at some point unfortunately but it’s fun while last yeah a wonderful performance of um and demonstration of composure when you’re able to lob um so consistently from Far Away Big spin from Henrik makes difficult return yeah the net has once again Fallen as Henrik um attempt a massive forehand fortunately into the net maybe worth switching Nets per chance cuz this net is yeah buckling under the pressure more than any of the players in fact it’s obviously because they’re just such powerful players absolutely after all table tennis is known for having the most muscular athletic players indeed I sense no sarcasm there none at all none at all big Rally from Raph and Marcus Raph is the one to make the error smacking the ball beyond the table and the reverse is true with Archie of Lancaster hitting over the edge of the table for M against Max Henrik to serve pendulum serve gets is returned simply by Top Spin by Jacob but finished off swiftly by Henrik who once again he’s making easy work of anyone from York who stands in his way very high throw serve from Marcus there is to elect High throw again of course UNR returnable there Marcus gets the point Ace Ace by Raph there they really are going Head to Head oh incredible backand um Top Spin shot from Henrik backhand smashes are always harder than forand smashes they say yeah but Hendrick makes it look really easy absolutely saying that Jacob is doing a wonderful shot attacking down the line on the forehand um yeah wins the point unfortunate from ole he attempts a very wide Top Spin forehand also important to note he is um I believe the only Lefty playing today which means that lancast will have to um and Troy in this case will have to adjust their tactics as to not give him an easy Top Spin forehand um yeah as as Henrik just did to Jacob Paul bit of a trick shot there by Max Archie expects this smash but instead lucky got a flat shot there for Max it did actually catch actually out and Max won the point [Applause] I always think interesting to see how um people got into the sports they become so good at oh I’ll continue this after this oh myed by HRI from a lob maybe 4 M away from the table there is absolutely element of skill but even henr will have to admit there’s lock involved oh he was he was aiming for that edge definitely he was aiming for the edge table yeah yeah we always do not easy to do though not easy to do at all what you got you into table tennis Theo absolutely I started playing table tennis at quite a young age just with family um with my very competitive family I must add um play with my brother a lot in AR shed at home once I came to York um played for the buck second team and the local League team um not quite the caliber of these players but loving the University of York table tennis experience how about you shorts you’re a lot better than me Theo um yes similar Story I played just a lot with my dad in the um in my house uh never really any formal training until I got to UNI and I think I’ve improved so much since I got to un I was I was an idiot and thought I was quite good back then but I wasn’t uh I’m still not good now but I’m a lot better now than I was absolutely being able to train and play with this caliber of player really helps improve it’s helped by great committee we got a lot of people really dedicated to helping us improve we started getting uh professional coaching uh coming in Jacob with huge attacks and Henrik lobbing from four me away huge smash jumping to get that smash velocity incredible and again oh hen oh my word a huge attack by Henrik is easily blocked Away by Jacob what a wonderful Point that’s amazing Point incredible spot that on Instagram reals later with 100,000 likes let’s get the University of York table tennis account to 10,000 followers by the end of the day let’s do it and for Lancaster we are not biased here what a point that was though let’s see if HRI can recover from that not sure anyone can recover from that oh another Net’s break the net cannot recover it’s still suffering I mean you see this happening quite a lot at the Olympics as well don’t you yeah exactly is it a victim of such powerful players the great shots I mean not the net breaking oh yeah thought I meant Jacob Paul returning the net to its original position after staying on the same court um third match Max to serve um Archie hits it into the net an unwavering net no less now oh net hit gets caught with a body shot just it’s just that body technique the amount of like power they put into their smashes they wind up and they just Let it Loose it’s amazing absolutely it’s so complex oh wow so fast that you see that almost tried a reverse behind the back hit shot then if that had come off that we would have been on the floor then yeah absolutely circus shots from Arie but didn’t quite make it land it’ be wonderful see such shots but not today not today not yet at least okay Marcus to serve raap does not have the the composure to keep on table course a lot more table turns to come after the men’s ones and men’s twos conclude there’ll be uh doubles matches and we also uh continue coverage of the women’s matches too y absolutely the the faulty net that has plagued Jacob in all his matches is currently being replaced so hopefully we’ll have no more faults in the following matches Henrik and Jacob currently setting that up make sure the Net’s actually properly way around yeah that’s better well done Jacob One play by R smash by R and rap wins the point with an amazing smash the defense is flawed it seems could not keep the ball the keep could not keep the rally going by Marcus goes for an attacking Top Spin backand Top Spin backhand Loop but does not manage to make the shot they do say that the best defense is even more overwhelming offense absolutely taking tips on table T from Alex Ferguson I’m pretty sure that was the guy from kobai actually from well I I I think Alex F came in a little bit before Cobra K Maybe not maybe maybe I don’t know we will see my World Knowledge huge attack from Max so close from Hendrick there can see it but just can’t even describe it with words that’s big lift attack heavy attack from from Archie goes over the edge of the table o another great Serve by hendrik there unreturnable by Jacob and it really caught him out there he’s looking like he’s going for his Sid spin backhand serve wonderful you see how effective it is there and now yeah almost back into a lobbing rally but Henrik Henrik does not land it he lands it on his side of the table obviously not what he’s going for massive attack from Henrik Jacob tries to counter it but ends up smacking it Square in the net you can see just how much spin they’re putting on this shots because when it does hit the net it just bounces off in that direction that you just tell that he’s just spinning with so much um momentum absolutely [Applause] [Music] Jacob Paul getting frustrated with his um repetitive net shots oh and again hits the net and bounc off the edge of the table it’s frustrating to find yourself in that situation when such fine margins Define the the point set and match as we saw in the previous match where he was um victim of a a tough net shot and it seems that was the same um this set AB F switching Sid and Henrik to serve huge pendulum serve wow oh Jacob goes for the smash but over exit in his own head it seems except his composure there is is magnificent indicative of his experience as a um postgraduate student Raph and olle sharing words of wisdom ahead of their next games only Henrik and Jacob left playing massive attack from Henrik unfortunately does not land straight to the net ja’s Happ that one you can really tell Henrik to serve pendulum serves misses the ball does happen sometimes it’s it’s and of course if you just go for the shots then it counts doesn’t have to hit the table in the uh bat as some people say yeah Jacob with a almost Hammer Surf and it finishes it off neatly wonderful to see the crowd’s still pouring in overwhelmingly red for Lancaster upstairs it seems the support for the squash is much more much more mixed with Max and Arch playing again there you go and it’s Arch serve St push huge um Top Spin shot from Max very effective Jacob really commits that Top Spin off the edge of the table but does not get it to land nice the Back Spin huge what a smash incredible rally both players going for um big for hands to um see who has more power in that rally chop from Henrik does not does not get it driv Henrik losing his losing his momentum maybe maybe is just too calm in this situation almost inviting the the attack from Jacob will yeah will the um will he need to bring out his A Touch of Class to win this match will he flick a switch when he needs to that is the real question I believe that Max has just beaten Archie incredible it’s wonderful to see wins from um from York to make it more even like Yorker slow starting to crawl it back perhaps could there be an upset on the cards but maybe maybe of course it’s not all about that is it it’s all about having fun and making sure that we see some lovely points at table tennis of course which we already have seen and I’m sure we continue to see unfortunately that was not one of them Jacob serves it off the edge of the table commentate his curse isn’t it exactly and Then followed by alette very nice serve does not continue the rally though pushes it over the edge of the table Henrik surf consistent sures lobbing back again jump huge oh my goodness amazing amazing incredible well done HRI there mive Top Spin forehand from Henrik pass the back maybe 3 four met behind the table to a Jacob who was just not expecting such a Counterattack Henrik is on fire at the moment as we predicted he has fli that flicked that switch he is he’s got the momentum with him now um and all the energy is in his favor a let by Jacob Paul but you could see Henrik was lining up for a huge huge smash already Jacob’s getting those Smashes in but HRI just keeps returning it with even more powerful smashes Jacob going for his old trusty sides spin backhand serve does not seem to fail him now Jacob’s on the attack again with yeah Henri Henrik unable to have the consistency with his lobs oh my word and now you see what put him at first seed of the Lancaster Table Tennis Club oh my word it’s a great backhand smash from Jacob maybe brushed the neck cuz he apologized afterwards truly magnificent to see Jacob once again on the attack we can see oh Henry goes for the Counterattack but hits it wide would have been incredible if that came off absolutely two in a row from those counter attacking smashes would have been just too good to be true another let from Jacob I will say the more lets you see in in a table tennis game the better the players probably are because they’re just getting that serve so close to the net that it shows that they really have refined their technique absolutely pushing the limits to how tight low um their serve can be [Music] Jacob once again on the attack against um against Henrik Henrik go for a slice rather than a lob this time huge chop and it’s just too much for um Marcus sorry for Jacob to handle we do have Marcus from the Lancaster University table tennis team here to uh talk to us about how his team is doing and how he’s enjoyed today so I’m going to pass the um microphone over to Marcus and the can continue giving interview questions to him yeah well it’s been great well thank you for having me it’s it’s great it’s my first time ever playing roses so I didn’t really know what to expect but the the oppos opposition are very hard but I think we’re doing quite well I know Archie’s been struggling a bit but I think the rest of the players I’m not too sure that match have gone but they’ve been winning which is good so I’m I’m happy to be here it’s been very fun so far absolutely it seems like Lancaster is definitely um winning at the moment since it’s your first roses how have you found the atmosphere um yeah definitely unique in the University sporting experience yeah it really is uh it’s great I’ve got some of my friends down here supporting me and it’s quite nice looking at the crowd and recognizing some familiar faces and it’s quite nice playing at home as well a lot of the people in the crowd I know they’re sort of friend of a friend or whatnot but I didn’t really know what to expect coming into this I kind of I knew it was a big deal but it’s kind of it’s a bit it’s quite yeah the the emotions are running quite High that’s the best way of putting it but I’m I’m glad it’s going well and it it’s very fun I’ll be happy to play next year if I’m I’m selected for this team which would be good absolutely we look forward to seeing you next year if you do play have you have you found the competition so far is it everything you might have expected yeah it’s it’s been tricky we’ve definitely had a lot of practice session preparing for this uh the opposition isn’t hard I’ve had a few close matches my second match I know it’s was 3-1 but there’s one set where it went maybe 16 18 it was it was very close so the opposition hasn’t been easy I’ve got one more match so I I don’t know I haven’t really scouted the last player out but I’m I’m sure he’s very good so I got to try and lock in and win that match as well so hopefully I can do that go four and0 that’d be that’d be good I’d be happy with that well best of luck Marcus in your final game thank you very much should try see if we can get some University of York there in to get another interview as well go see if they are free to have a chat at the moment because I’m sure they’re focusing on their game at the moment it may not be available we’ll try um Raph um Max and OE all sharing their two cents to each other giving tactical advice um in preparation for the next matches seems like Raph is teeing up to play Henrik next um Henrik obviously the the number one seed of Lancaster um and rap playing um I think this may be his debut roses in fact which is um yeah it’s a tough s um tough location to find yourself in in the bustling away end or away match at Lancaster crowd is currently um maybe up to 50 people at the moment in Lancaster largely um constituting um Lancaster people or Lancaster students F friends and family but it is truly great to see um the the energy in the building Max is seems to be warming up with Troy for the next matchup so we’ll looking forward to that and Jacob against Marcus who we just heard from so best of luck to both of them it is truly a testament to the strength of both teams that the captains of um the York and Lancaster teams are in the um B team and the fourth seed of The A Team respectively so clearly it shows that there is a huge amount of class on both teams um so yeah and huge depth in the rotation [Applause] yeah finally we have all Newton warming up against Archie it seems um so yeah all four matchups are warming up ready for the maybe their final um no this wouldn’t I think this a third third matches each [Applause] once again if you are just joining us um welcome there’s more information about the Roses um on official roses .co.uk website about the scores not just um for each of the events and then the overall score which I believe still has Lancaster winning at the moment roses live.co.uk my apologies do check it out um at the moment it seems we’ve got a member of um university of no never mind ignore me um yeah continuing to see warmups from um all of the pairs who are lining up to play at the moment just my luck the moment I go down to see if a University of York player can do an interview to share their perspective they all just start playing again I mean what else I should have really expected I mean play games absolutely oh be great content for you all to watch if you tune in oh Henri with a huge attacking shot against Raph really showing that he means Business from The off so rap serving now that possi be an edge shot I believe it came off the back edge of the table there even Raph is a bit confused oh Marcus bringing Jacob to the floor moving him around so much pushing him from side to side and eventually onto the off his feet Jacob with the serve clearly very effective as Marcus is push into the net on the other court we have Max facing up against Troy unfortunate um the push goes straight Square in the net by Max Max’s old trusty simple backs spin serve seem to be very effective forces Troy um to goes for the push into the net OE Newton and Archie um still warming up at the moment making sure they’re in tiptop form for this matchup Ole Newton probably hoping to um find a win at in the fourth seed of Lancaster Great Rally between Jacob and Marcus there and to the net as so many points often do oh great smash from Jacob there huge attack that forand smash from Archie oh my word Henri can do anything about that Henrik tries to mimic but goes straight into the net one I don’t know You’ seen that on camera but uh Marcus just hit that ball from like halfway across the um entire um building straight into the hand of uh of Ollie there shows real Precision marks with a really strong reverse pendulum serve catches Jake off guard there’s nothing you can do about that yeah Raph tries to attack henrik’s chob but does not get the height into the neck and now is serving Henrik forcing putting so much speed into the rallies um and Raph unable to take it off or counter really under the C at the moment it’s not easy to play against someone of such a high caliber and that seems to be the first set done Raph serving once again for the second set oh back and forth with a Big Top Spin but once again Raph is the one or Henrik is the one who comes out on top L vocal supports for the Lancaster players in the moment always was good to see now o Newton serving against Archie F serve catches Archie off guard to the body oh huge attack by Archie apologizes for hitting Ollie but it is truly class for having that sort of accuracy to aim for the body to force OE into an uncomfortable [Applause] situation all attempted Loop hits the edge pings off into the crowd get some audience [Applause] participation cheering from the Lancaster crowd is really getting the players going great serve from Hendrick smash that cannot be certain by anyone Henrik is loving it playing with the crowd cheering them on as they cheer him on unfortunate Miss shot by Raph the crowd still goes wild clearly Henrik is a a crowd [Applause] favorite let’s hope the Raph does not Buckle under this pressure it’s not easy it’s not easy to play when you know that there’s so many people watching you and support go vouching for your opponent [Applause] oh RAF is caught in a bit of a pickle hits the net and just dribbles over and does not have the reactions um nor the speed to get it back crowd is still on henrik’s side despite the the luck that has um been bestowed upon him on Marcus’s game now against Jacob I think returning is the one of the hardest parts of table tenis really is cuz I can never be quite certain what the spin is going to be like before hit it being able to uh disguise that spin is a real uh important aspect of the game it really is uh [Applause] [Music] raft to serve against Henrik huge Top Spin hit it right into the body of Raph doesn’t make contact with the table yet the crowd is still um loving it they just want the action and the energy I think ra has informed the crowd that that was indeed rap’s point exactly another great point for ra there he will not let the naysayers get him down Troy hits a loop right over the edge of the table maybe he has finally found his match playing against Max will the beanie come off so he can stop once he starts breaking a sweat we will never know great shot from Marcus there and he fist pumps the air in Celebration oh great ball placement by Marcus play across twice to move Jacob and then hitting it right into the open space tactical Master Class A huge s spin from Marcus very difficult to control and that’s exactly what happened Jacob hits off the edge of the table oh oh they manag to hit the ball to the other side of the uh building it’s [Applause] amazing by the way if you want to tune into the uh stream for the twos at the moment you can listen to the president of the University of York T Tennis Club conducting an interview on how the day and the whole weekend as a whole so far has gone for him Max serve against Troy Troy hitting into the net once again he’s still consistently as nonchalant but maybe with slightly less pep in his [Applause] step huge rally between Jacob and Marcus Jacob comes out on top once again playing the angles um and catching out Marcus on the forehand side Hammer serve from Archie does not go a Miss oie struggles to return [Applause] Mass from Archie he’s got the momentum OE to serve but Archie now probably more confidence off those two massive serves o trying to put on some side spin to the sky or so spin on that one s of Archie but Archie is unfaced oh a little side spin on that from o massive forand Loop by Henrik very difficult technique to Mark to coordinate both the angle of the backat speed of the spin and the speed of the ball um to make it so accurate that it just brushes over the net and onto the table with enough Top Spin to dip in time very very difficult technique but he has mastered it after his hours and hours of [Applause] training rap a truly top player really struggling under the under the c um the lob situation going on lob and smash between Jacob and Marcus Jacob loves this it seems yeah oh oh a ball has just hit me from one of the uh tw’s games from Mr Allin Brown himself he’s say so say you don’t get your entertainment value Theo with a great throw [Music] there marks with a big back hand so Marx and Jacob going Toe to Toe with massive Top Spin does Marx the one to Fumble first first and Jacob Ser a great rally team Hendrick and and [Applause] rap Jacob does not farewell or does not well what’s the what’s the word something like that um when he’s on the defensive end of a lobbing situation let’s see it’s a Troy against Max whoa that was another good one troy with an smash return by Max then return Again by Troy leading to the point going to Troy in his iconic [Applause] beanie Marcus getting unfortunate with the net a shot that hits the net and over the edge very close but you are really working with a game of millimeters that changes the entire trajectory of the ball and the match Troy serve against Max lot of spin makes it difficult to return Max hits in the net Ollie serving against Archie push rally so far Archie the one to initiate the attack and olle back the Counterattack every single time oh she has a consistency over Ole force him to make an error well played similarly both Jacob and Mark say top spins oh and it’s Marcus who comes out on top really Marcus really played the positional play very well there um moving Jacob side to side tactically um a master class do tune in to watch if you’re not already Max is bring out all these incredible smashes but tro is always returning them consistently must be quite frustrating for Max in that situation yeah going for huge smash like that it feels like a higher risk High reward situation except when you’re going for it when you land it and the reward isn’t even there because CH is the one taking that away is heartbreaking that’s why you got to adjust your game to really top players Jacob to serve yeah a net that goes out you know you’ve hit a shot hard if you hit the net and it still goes out of play Max to serve against Troy both being trying to play very consistently it brushes the net and dribbles over that’s the and that’s a win of a set by Troy Marcus and Jacob once again going for it neither one wanting to back out of this for this Top Spin rally attacking consistently never playing the defensive shot makes for a truly wonderful watch whoa what an amazing smash there from Archie crosscourt forand smash you don’t see that many of those it’s very hard to get forand uh shots to go in that [Applause] direction women dou has been and gone we will try and figure out what the score to that was Inc Marcus serving and that is the game I believe between Marcus and Jacob with Jacob just about missing that final shot OE go for a huge attack beat the defense against Archie of Lancaster Arch serve goes for reverse pendulum Ole comfortable return after O’s point after Archie’s over ambitious attack does not have the control in said committed for power not an investment that was well made oh unfortunate for OE ball dribbles over the net um too quick for Ole to react oh so much spin on that from olle huge size bit and then the attack difficult to control huge attack from Archie um OE does not get it back now I have all the players focusing on that one table from the the ones the twos and the women’s matches Archie now with the serve lines up fast to serve OE does not react in time knocks over the edge and that is a game to to Archie of Lancaster the A’s Captain I’m sure be proud of that Victory congratulations huge respect to both players there G an amazing performance with some incredible points and in the end Archie comes out just about with a victory the University of York team offer the commiserations to Ole um but yeah truly a spectacular performance must have been tough with the crowd clearly on Lancaster side on this one um as expected in the when you’re playing roses in Lancaster Home Advantage isn’t it absolutely let’s not talk about the results of roses from last year because H didn’t exist then that was a tough performance last year just Che how long we have left how many more matches through out to play there’s certainly doubles going on but there may be another U round of first teams games before then but we’re going check now for those of you who have just joined us um the open first team um has been comfortably won by um Lancaster it seems score not is unconfirmed yet um but I’m sure you can find out out on roses live.co.uk that’ll give you the scores not only for table tennis but for all those Sport and for um roses overall um with Lancaster currently in the lead but by no means is this a done deal there is absolutely time for York to come back and take the win we’re aiming for 172.5 points to win um for either team um I think we’re currently Lancaster is breaching 90 um and York is currently closer to 60 if I’m not mistaken um yeah top stuff by both teams so it seems there is one more match of the single open ones singles for each of the players and then we’ll head right into doubles at the moment we’ having tactical break discussing um with the other team members see what is the best strategy maybe offering advice about individual players [Applause] ignore my previous comment we’re now into the doubles we’re having Raph and Ole Newton oh well that’s against Marcus and Troy and on the other table we have Max and uh and on the other table oh it’s that will be not Max that is Joe hurse president um of University of York Flynn Kendall most improved player and current Treasurer um against the second pair I come with good news and bad news I think uh explained this but the bad news is that the women’s events are over in table tennis so no more women’s table tennis to see today but the good news is we still have these doubles matches to play and I always find doubles really fun I used to not be a fan but uh it won me over during my University time it’s a difficult discipline to handle we’ve got to um take into consideration the movement of your partner but also their shot choice you have to combine and um collaborate two minds instead of one um incredibly tactical you still don’t want to get into each other’s way exactly um but in definitely incredibly fun to watch in terms of the um rules they are slightly different from the singles rules in the singles you can serve wherever you want as long as it bounce on both long as it bounces on both sides of the table in doubles you have to serve diagonally so it has to bounce on one side and one side then go to the other side diagonally in order for it to be a valid serve every uh two serves just like in singles we swap but when you do Swap and you just serve you also swap uh positions and so swap places with your teammates um in terms of hitting it it’s not sides it’s turns so one person hits it and the next person has to hit it after that okay yeah this alternate shot M um the alternate shots makes it very difficult as the movement between players um really has to be fluid um and that happens only when the two players are really well coordinated and have practice um together before we’ll see if that is the case right now Troy serve teas up Marcus for running a huge smash she finishes efficiently now it’s Ole Newton to serve nice back spit Ser with a little um nice pendulum um catches Marx off guard cannot return it same sort of thing Marx has learned got it over the net this time but over the edge I previously said these singles players were the best the best of the best and now the players have been selected to play for doubles for each respective University and have the best the best the best the best of the best players exactly that uh both un need have to offer absolutely probably think I put one too many bests in there but uh I stand by it the players I think I think we understand the idea rap currently Ser oh no the ball’s gone on a miss that one set done I believe now it’s Troy to serve Troy to serve to ra ra teing up so it has to go to the forehand side attacks it Massive Attack great movement York on the attack the entire point and made sure they polished it off um making easy work of the Lancaster team great attack once again by Raph um the long serve opens up the opportunity to the forehand um Top Spin and now it’s York’s turn to serve rap plays a a nice serve Marcus pushes it off the edge of the table great pushing raph’s lift misses the the table so low to Net in that point be able to watch absolutely reverse pendulum huge attack by Troy did he make it I I’m not certain I believe he probably missed that unfortunately yeah smash there by Ollie Marcus goes for the same reverse serve OE has learned from his mistakes and yeah punishes Marcus hence forth oh that’s that’s unfortunate for York the attack by um Troy brushes the net and dribbles over I’m sure deep down lanc aren’t complaining see very happy they that point ol with a huge attack hits it stra into the net now if we turn our attention to the tw’s table it is President Joe HST to serve big attack by the lanaster players um and pushes it straight past Flynn Kendall does not get his footwork and movement around in time um yeah coordination is not quite on the same caliber as on the one’s table it’s lovely to see though Lancaster serve Flyn with a deep push same with Joe movement is good but Flynn cannot um does not put off his backhand Top Spin shots now on the first table OE Newton with the serve toss pendulum Ser r with a huge um lift a huge Loop um not returned well by Marcus great smash there from believe that connected didn’t it I think so I think so of course the ball moves so fast that you can hardly tell they actually had to make the ball slightly bigger uh back in the uh 80s ’90s because the ball used to move so fast that the current uh technological constraints of uh Vision cameras meant that when in the Olympics you couldn’t even actually see the ball it was going so fast wow there you go you learn something new every day so you may think it’s fast now but actually used to be even faster incredible incredible currently on the side of the hall where the twos were playing it’s being set up for trampolining it seems I’m sure there will be commentary on that imminently wonder if you see anyone jumping all the way to the ceiling yeah absolutely not now I have Marcus to Ser oh no never mind Ole to serve for York tosses it back’s been serve Marcus Loop great almost OE with a big reach doesn’t get it back on the table almost gets it around the net completely okay on T we’ve got Kendall with a hammer serve very consistent pushing all round no one wanting to attack and when Lancaster does it’s straight in the net that is why it’s risky shot however on the other side Marcus is just giving giving it a right smack lands on table great Point yeah it was great to see jumping shots coming off from table tennis you don’t see them as much as in badmington but they’re just as spectacular absolutely if you are interested in the badminton there is most of it is done today with Lancaster taking wins in three of the four events um and York winning in the men’s sorry the ladies ones fixture um although is incredible to watch if you want to see more badminton there is B mixed badminton the best of the wom men’s and women’s from each University at I think 9:00 a.m. tomorrow do tune in big attack by Troy there um no mercy when he’s got an Open Table same with Troy only speeds up when there’s an open piece of the table oh there we go I may be uh ducking out very soon just get a final score update when see the games come to a close because I’m aware that we have to move quickly onto the next event afterwards and I want to uh impart to all the listeners exactly what the scores were in the men’s one and twos and of course the women’s as well if I happen to hear what the final scores in those games were as well yeah the set was just won by Lancaster on the um men’s twos table um after a missed Push by President Joe Hurst wow an incredible Round theck Shot from the Lancaster player of the men’s twos table um now ra to serve on the menal on table very nice Back Spin Troy is not intimidated whips it back with Incredible amounts of Top Spin um the RPM on that must be absolutely insane Troy serve almost looking like an Archer pulling back for um to shoot his Arrow some players even like stamp the floor as they deserves to get as much spin as possible as much power behind it yeah absolutely and sometimes an intimidation tactic is quite off putting but there oh puts me right off it I believe that the ones may have finished I think so looks like it I’ll come and get a score update the tw’s the twos continue to play we have Joe playing a wonderful serve oh my word hits the net the game is still on and a smash by the Lancaster player that was unfortunate the shot that hit the net by Lancaster but York in a very sticky situation and Lancaster would had no mercy um did not hesitate to punish the slow reactions of York now Lan now Lancaster to serve looks like going for a backhand serve sliced it with s spin Joe Hurst cannot get enough Top Spin for it to go over the net once again same serve Joe’s learn huge Top Spin tacks a shot and he misses the second top backand Top Spin shot that he approaches difficult position to find himself in um fling Kendall with a lovely Loop one of the shots he practices so frequently ESP speciality of his now L has to serve again backand Sid spin Joe tries to block it but it goes over the edge of the table lacks that control and composure that you may see on the um may have seen on the ones table or any other high level we might see him next year with a with more composure we’ll see how he improves anyway Lancaster back with the serve sticking with the side spin backand shot incredible shot um seemed very effective and that is the set W by Lancaster again okay now is Joe Hur president’s serf goes for pendulum big loot by Lancaster and the attack was missed over the edge of the table um incredible attempt though Flyn Kendall tries um charged for an attacking shot but misses the ball completely footwork was not there to get his body in the right position good push pushing game from both Lancaster attacks it followed by Flynn does not have the composure or the quality um to land it quite like Lancaster did Lancaster definitely on the front foot here sticking with the Sid spin back back hand serve seems to be hugely effective York gave to go and Lancaster could not return clearly this is why it is used as much as it is yeah toed in forehand from um Lancaster unable to land into the net wonderful leap from Flyn Kendall but right into the path of the Lancaster player who attacks it and smacks it right past Joe Hurst Lancaster with a serve push push and attack from York um yeah Joe Hurst unable to make it um land we will see Flynn unable to make the loop Land This Time clearly wanting to end the points quicker oh incredible attack from Lancaster breezes right past Joe Hurst who um does not make a connection with the ball cuz it was just too fast shot from lanc s from Lancaster teed it up for his partner who had um battered it right down the middle pushing game so far Joe Hur attacks it and that’s where he shows why he is El president Flyn Kendall’s serve is attacked immediately by Lancaster Joe put in a tough situation to and is therefore unable to get it back LAN C it now um serving pushed by Flynn which too bit too high oh sorry that was by Joe um and FL returns deep push and a punishing attack by Lancaster the arena is feeling more like quicker and quicker as um the trampolining is set up music is pumping in the background um energy is electric me everyone here watching the table tennis as it um stands hely from Lancaster Joe cannot get it back and that is a wrap well played to both Lancaster and York um truly a magnificent performance anyways what an incred um what an incredible um match in the end men’s uh in the men’s ones York in the end won three um Three Robbers or three matches and Lancaster won 14 um however we did win the doubles in the end the um when it comes to the women’s York won um zero and Lancaster took all five took the bagel um incredible effort um but really impressive performance
