Table Tennis Success for Alex
Year Seven pupil Alex enjoyed an excellent first official Table Tennis England event, competing in the Under 13 category at Birmingham Table Tennis Academy, held at Nishkam School.
The tournament attracted competitors from across the UK and carried official Table Tennis England ranking points. Alex was placed in the lowest group as this was his first official event, competing against players already ranked by Table Tennis England from areas including Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire.
Alex produced an outstanding performance, winning all six of his matches to finish top of his group. This impressive result is expected to place him within the top 200 in the UK for his age group.
This is a superb achievement for Alex’s first official competition and we look forward to following his progress as he continues to compete in further ranking events.
