SERVIVORS won two of their three Table Tennis Premier League matches when domestic action continued in Central over the past four days.

At Endeavour in Chaguanas on Thursday, Servivors notched a 3-1 victory over D’Abadie Youths, lost 2-3 against PowerGen on Friday and returned to winning ways on Sunday, with a 3-1 triumph over Couva Trailblazers.

Newaj defeated Declan John 12-10, 11-5, 8-11, 8-11, 11-4 to level the score before teammate Riad Abasali sent them ahead with an 11-8, 7-11, 11-6, 9-11, 11-8, 5-11 win over Edwin Humphreys.

Newaj returned to the table and affirmed victory with a tightly-contested 11-8, 7-11, 11-6, 9-11, 11-8 defeat of Sorzano.
