European Four Nations Table Tennis Event PDF Print E-mail

Scarborough Table Tennis Club was very proud to host the Euro group 4 Nations Table Tennis championships with Railsport GB. It all kicked of with the Mayor and Mayoress of Scarborough and Sir Alan Ransome of the ETTA (English Table Tennis Association) who welcomed the teams from UK, Switzerland, Poland and Germany.

There were two men’s and one woman’s team representing each country.  The standard of play was world Class.  In the men’s 1 the results were Poland 1st , Germany 2nd Switzerland 3rd and Railsport UK 4th.  In the Men’s 2 Germany 1st Poland 2nd Railsport UK 3rd and Switzerland 4th and in the ladies Germany 1st Poland 2nd Railsport UK 3rd and Switzerland 4th.

All players and country representatives were most impressed with the state of the art centre and the volunteer staff who run it and we hope to forge links with them for future games especially with us in the running to maybe host a pre Olympic Games team.  This event couldn’t have come at a better time to forge links with our European friends and Scarborough was at its best being bathed in beautiful sunshine all weekend for them. We had some of our local players especially the younger ones come up to watch and the teams were also happy to give them a game which the younger players loved.   The teams now go on to the World games in Russia next year.  Thanks to all who helped to make this event the outstanding success it has been and thanks to Railsport GB for choosing us to host this most enjoyable event, fingers crossed we get chance to shine for you again.

Carole Harrington, Scarborough Table Tennis Club.
