The Cheshire Closed Table Tennis Championships were held at Halton Table Tennis Centre, Select Security Stadium, Widnes.
Cadet Harry Watson, fresh from the Cadet Nationals at Gillingham, retained three titles he won last year
In the Cadet final, Watson had a 3-0 victory over another improving player James Courtney, and he beat Connor Whitehead 3-1 in the Juniors.
Watson’s third win was in the Junior Boys’ Doubles alongside Connor Whitehead.
The Junior Restricted had a big entry and was won by Courtney, who beat last year’s winner Callum Tizzard from Crewe in the final in a very close encounter 3-2.
The Under-13 Boys was a win for Liam Bibby over fellow Halton player Thomas Naylor 3-0.
In an all Halton final, Anais O’Connor retained the Cadet Girls Singles title, beating Elizabeth Poyner 3-1. She then went on to beat defending champion Robyn Cosgrove in three games to take the Junior Girls.
