Club Championships Youth\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

What a fantastic day for the TTV Stiphout youth! The club championships were held on January 17, 2026, and with a whopping 13 participants, turnout was a bit better \u2013 an increase of 30% compared to last year. It was especially great to see that many young members, who had only recently joined, immediately took up the challenge and participated.<\/p>

For the past three years, Ryan Sanders was the undisputed champion, but this time he wasn't there. That automatically meant a new club champion! All age groups played together in a single system, which made for some fantastic and sometimes challenging matches \u2013 it was often David versus Goliath at the table.<\/p>

The semifinals offered plenty of spectacle. Liang versus Robin was a match in which Robin was particularly surprising; he played in absolute top form. On the other side, Loek and Geert faced off, with Geert playing his last club championship as a youth player. Ultimately, this all culminated in a thrilling final between buddies Liang and Loek. It was clear they know each other inside and out, resulting in exciting points and high-quality table tennis.<\/p>

Throughout the tournament, there were some fantastic rallies \u2013 the kind of points that would have easily racked up likes on YouTube if we had filmed them.<\/p>

Thanks to Wilma for the excellent service behind the bar and to Jo for all the preparations. Thanks to you\u2014and of course, thanks to the enthusiastic young people\u2014it was a day to look back on with great fondness.<\/p>

Senior Club Championships: huge turnout, so we finished a bit later...<\/b><\/p>
Last Sunday was the TTV Stiphout club championships, and with a whopping 39 participants, the hall was better filled than the recent Olieboltoernooi. The weather conditions were also somewhat better this time. The predicted final time of 6:00 PM turned out to be\u2014how to put it politely\u2014optimistic due to the high number of participants. The final time was ultimately 6:30 PM, but that gave everyone plenty of time to take an extra sip of water, sports drink, or painkiller.<\/p>
Everyone played at least 7, and sometimes even 10, matches, which felt like a sporting challenge for some and like a multi-day stage in the Tour de France for others. With participants ranging in age from 16 to 81, it was a wonderful demonstration that table tennis is a sport for young, old, and everyone in between\u2026 although it was a bit more challenging for some than for others.<\/p>
The number and skill level of the women's players was much higher this year than in recent years. However, the women's final featured a slightly surprising match: Carolien versus Jacqueline. Carolien proved slightly sharper in four games. Jacqueline, however, was mostly satisfied with the day, not least because she played 10 games and returned home injury-free \u2013 perhaps her biggest victory of the day.<\/p>
The men's semifinals were between J\u00f6rgen and Mick, and Ben and Tomislav. Ultimately, J\u00f6rgen and Ben were allowed to compete in the final. Ben put up a brave fight, but J\u00f6rgen left no doubt who was in the best shape (and likely the freshest legs) that day.<\/p>
Finally, a big thank you to everyone behind the scenes:<\/p>
Walter on duty at the bar until 2pm<\/li>
Ivo for the last (but certainly not unimportant) hour<\/li>
Jo for the preparations<\/li>
Han for the strict tournament management, which made sure we were \u201conly\u201d half an hour behind.<\/li><\/ul>
All in all: a successful, sporty and especially long day that will be talked about for a long time... probably with sore muscles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
