U13 Boys narrowly miss out on a place in the National Final of the English Schools Table Tennis Competition
Max (Year 8) and Rhys Davies (Year 6) and Nicholas and Christopher Moustaka (Year 7) represented Merchant Taylors’ at the Zonal finals of the English Schools Table Tennis Competition in Blackburn on Saturday 19th March. They started with a 7-1 win against St. Joseph’s college, Ipswich before an emphatic 8-0 win against Silverdale school. This set up a final against Longfield Academy from Darlington who fielded a very strong team and had won both their other matches 8-0.
The first 4 matches went with rankings as Each No.1 beat the opposition’s No.2’s and likewise with the No.3’s beating the No.4’s. These were far from easy matches but it meant that Merchant Taylors’ was tied at 2-2 before the pivotal contests. However we eventually lost out 5-3.
Our congratulations to all the boys who performed well with Rhys winning 5/6 matches, Max 4/6, Nicholas 4/6 and Christopher 5/6. As runners up in one of the four Regional Finals we can safely place the team somewhere between 5th and 8th in the Country. Hopefully they can have another go next year!
The boys received their certificates and a Headmaster’s commendation each from Mr Cook who was delighted with their achievements.
