Windalco's men are still inter-bauxite table tennis champions, as they clipped St. Ann Bauxite 3-2 in the final played at the Alpart Sports Club on Saturday to retain the title, after St. Ann Bauxite had beaten them twice by 3-2 score lines in the home-and-away section of the competition.

St. Ann Bauxite won the first two matches, as Richard Thomas crushed Wayne Aird 11-7, 11-4, 11-7 (3-0) in the first and Andrew Lawrence trounced Justin Allen 11-7, 11-7, 11-7 (3 - 0) in the second.
