A big shoutout to our players, Aarif and George, who competed in the Nottingham 2-Star today!

Huge congratulations to Aarif for winning Cadet Group 1! 🥇 And a massive well done to George, who grabbed a hard-fought 2nd place in Cadet Group 2, missing out on the top spot by the thinnest of margins on a three-way countback! 🤯🥈

Fantastic attitude and great table tennis from both of them all day.

Good luck to everyone competing this weekend. Hugo, Leo and Alyssa Nguyen at the under 21 and junior national championships. Also good luck to our chairman 🪑🪑 Paul Giles who is competing at the VETTS national Championships. 🏓🏓🏓

A very tough day’s play in Alghero at the Sardinian Veterans Open International. Gary Lambert Paul Giles and Paul Whiting all into the main event of the Over 60s, with Paul Giles ending his run in the Semis and Paul Whiting ending Runner Up in the final. Such tough games today.

Both Paul’s are through into the main event of the Over 40s with the Over 60s doubles yet to start.

In the ladies events, Maggie Welsman is playing in the Over 60s and Helen Lambert in the Over 40s. Good luck to all.

Correction to previous post. Paul Giles lost in the semi-final to the eventual winner of the Over 50s singles.

Paul G had a very tough opponent in the quarters which ended his run in the Over 50s. Dave got through his group in the over 70s and went out in the quarters. Doubles start around 6pm.

So both Paul’s and Gary went through to the last 16 with some great wins. Paul W and Gary’s run ended there. Paul G got through to the quarterfinals. Great games all round 🏓

Apologies the event is the Over 50s not the Over 60s! 😆
