On Sunday 19 April at Holyrood Sports Centre West of Scotland Table Tennis hosted a minor league assesment for players not yet achieving the higher grades. 31 Players attended with ATTA sending 10 players representing 4 Clubs. Holidays and unavailability heavily reduced ATTA player participation with initial indications of sending a 25 plus strong team.
David Benson produced his form of the season achieving 9 place. Everyone participated well with the members of our newest clubs St Bridget's & Greenwood having their first competition experience.
Congradulations to you all.
