Ari­ma Hawks and the Uni­ver­si­ty of T&T main­tained their re­spec­tive 100 per cent win­ning records in the T&T Ta­ble Ten­nis As­so­ci­a­tion First Di­vi­sion League with sim­i­lar 4-0 vic­to­ries over Ox­ford and D'Abadie Youths in the lat­est round of match­es.

Hawks, win­ners of their open­ing round tie against Glad­i­a­tors al­so by a 4-0 mar­gin, was again ruth­less in their de­mo­li­tion of vis­i­tors Ox­ford at the Ari­ma West Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School on Tues­day night.

Lead­ing the way for the host were five-time na­tion­al sin­gles cham­pi­on Reeza Burke and for­mer mul­ti­ple-na­tion­al and two-time Caribbean cham­pi­on Li­onel Darceuil who com­bined for three wins.

Darceuil was first in­to ac­tion and swept past Narace Jod­han 11-3, 11-9, 11-8 for a 1-0 lead in the best-of-six match tie while Dave Williams over­whelmed Kirk Mo­hammed 11-4, 11-4, 2-11, 13-11 to make it 2-0.

Burke, who is al­so the pres­i­dent of the lo­cal as­so­ci­a­tion, de­feat­ed An­tho­ny Laquis 11-6, 11-9, 11-6 be­fore he paired with Darceuil to stop Mo­hammed and Laquis 11-7, 11-3, 14-12 and seal the 4-0 tri­umph.

UTT and D'Abadie, which trounced So­lo Cru­saders 4-0 in its first match of the league were both hope­ful of im­prov­ing to 2-0, but in the end, the Humphreys broth­ers Cur­tis and Alar­ic along with Ken­win Small proved too much for their D'Abadie ri­vals.

Cur­tis, the reign­ing na­tion­al men's sin­gles ti­tle hold­er was tak­en to five sets by for­mer na­tion­al cham­pi­on Michael Nan­ton be­fore he se­cured an 11-6, 6-11, 10-12, 11-6, 11-8 vic­to­ry to put his team against his for­mer club.

The younger Humphreys, Alar­ic, ex­tend­ed the ad­van­tage to 2-0 via his 11-9, 11-7, 11-9 beat­ing of Ever­ton Sorzano while Small came from be­hind to beat De­clan John 7-11, 11-7, 11-8, 11-8 be­fore the broth­ers bat­tled past Nan­ton and John 12-10, 11-2, 11-9.

The oth­er match card­ed for Tues­day night be­tween So­lo Cru­saders and Glad­i­a­tors has been re-sched­uled for Sun­day at the Cen­tral Re­gion­al In­door Sports Are­na, Ch­agua­nas.
