Tasmania's disappointing season was capped off with an 11-3 thrashing by Ipswich in Hobart. The match was remarkable for the fact that Angus Featherlite-Blowingpam actually played for Tasmania as first receiver. While he has some raw skills with the bat, he was not a logical inclusion and is not a professionally-accredited Rebound Table Tennis player. One can only assume he pulled strings with his influence as a member of the Featherlite-Blowingpam, who own the Tasmania franchise.
There is also speculation that Featherlite-Blowingpam plans to release an album in a few months, with girlfriend Patricia Elksteine playing keyboard.
Sydney secured the minor premiership with an 11-7 win over North New Zealand in Auckland. They will play Geelong in the first week of the Finals. Geelong would be disppointed after going down 11-3 at home to Canberra, slipping from 6th to 8th on the table. Had Brisbane defeated the Gold Coast, Geelong's season would already be over.
Perth went down narrowly 11-9 to South New Zealand, having this week sensationally sacked Rebound Table Tennis legend Jimmy Spring over his failure to turn the side into a premiership force. Spring's comeback to the sport appears to be in tatters.
Darwin were left holding the wooden spoon after 11-5 loss to Greater Blacktown in Blacktown.
