BATTS Super League

The Super league in Harlow on Friday night taught the players from Wales a lesson. Megan Phillips, Charlotte Carey, Nicole Hall & Angharad Phillips all had tough initial groups against much older and experienced players. Nicole played her first match against Darius Knight for instance...
Ryan & Steve Jenkins were also in attendance but both fell to the in-form Darius in the last 16 and the semi finals respectively. Darius went on to win the event against Chris Doran in the final 3-2.

Barrow too Strong...

Congratulations to Barrow for holding onto their 2 point lead at the top of the British League over the weekend.
Paul Drinkhall, Darius Knight, Gavin Rumgay and Seb Laux beat all the opponents before a draw with holders Drumchapel.
Drumchapel (represented by Welsh Internationals Ryan & Steve Jenkins) fought hard for their point and now hope that another team from the league upsets Barrow over the next two weekends in January and March respectively.

If Carlsberg did tournaments.....

Ryan and Stephen Jenkins have been invited to a tournament that defies belief. Not only is there great competition against foreign players, but it is based in one of the most exotic countries there is - The Maldives!

The tournament has been organised to coincide with their associations 60th anniversary and the Jenkins brothers are fortunate to be on the list. The Association of Maldives are renting a private island to host the players for free!!

Ryan & Steve, who are ranked number 3 in the world on the unofficial list of sibling rankings, will team up in the doubles event in the 5 day long extravaganza.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for players of the TTAW who have been at the front end of Welsh table tennis for over 20 years...

They now know why they chose table tennis...
