WITH two rounds left before the finals of Terang table tennis, Murphy’s Law has jumped into the four for the first time this season.
There is now a bottle neck between teams two to five where any side can miss out on finals action.
Mark’s Battlers is the only side to have locked in a finals berth.
The competition also welcomed back Ron Cook, who will fill in for the remainder of the season in TTMI2.
Ron’s presence wasn’t enough to help his team win, but he did provide competitiveness and remove some of the rust from his game.
Murphy’s Law won 11-0 and, in the process, jumped from 5th to 3rd.
Mark’s Battlers had Callum McSween fill in for Mark and assisted the team to defeat Tony’s Terriers winning 8-3.
Vesha Chapagai won two singles in his team’s victory.
The best rubber was between Vesha and Tony Young with the later winning a very close match 11-13, 11-8, 13-11 and 11-9.
