Table Tennis Teams Back in Action
The Under 13 Boys Table Tennis team took part in the Zone Finals of the English School’s Table Tennis Team Championships on Saturday 14 January. With strong performances, the team came 2nd in their group and qualified for the semi finals.
In the semi finals, the boys faced a strong competitor and unfortunately lost in a close contest. The competition was a great experience for the Under 13 team and their performance has created an excellent platform to build upon for next year.
The Under 16 Boys Table Tennis team also took part in the Zone Finals on Sunday 15 January. Having narrowly missed out on qualifying for the National Finals last year as an Under 13 team, the boys were full of confidence this year.
However, this year they found themselves playing in the Under 16 category. Up against some older and more experienced opposition, they unfortunately did not qualify beyond their group. The Under 16 team finished in fourth place, having narrowly lost out in two of their matches. For a young team, stepping up to the compete in the Under 16 category the experience was a fantastic learning experience for the future.
With both teams not advancing to the next rounds of the team competition, the boys will now move on to their individual competitions which will take place over the next couple of weekends with the Under 13 players next in action on Sunday 22 January and the Under 16s playing on Sunday 29 January. We wish them the very best for these matches and well done in the team competitions.
