IT is with great sadness that the Fakenham and District Table Tennis League has lost one of its stalwarts in the death of Timmy Roy recently.

Timmy had been a player for Brancaster and Burnham Thorpe, committee member and contributor to the league for many years and will be greatly missed and thoughts go out to his family at this sad time.

After the first few games of the season Bircham A and Swanton Novers have a substantial lead over the rest of the teams, but with only six points separating fourth and eighth place there could be a lot of switching places during the season.
