The Frank Howard Tournament is a small club tournament staged annually by Lentern TTC in memory of their friend who sadly passed away 5 years ago.  This year, club champion for the past three years Paul Brown, was knock off his perch by newcomer to Lentern, Les Tayler.  Les won the final in a close match against Mike Grout. This was a very good evening of Table Tennis enjoyed by all who entered.  Chris Crooks, Paul Brown and now Les Tayler, champions of the Frank Howard Trophy.
