Rhys Excels as he Represents England
Year 6 pupil Rhys Davies has recently returned from representing England in the European Table Tennis Championships in Strasbourg, France. Rhys performed exceptionally well, winning five of his 12 matches and only just missing out on qualifying for the final knockout stages. Rhys was up against other talented players from France, Belgium, Latvia, Estonia and Malta and did superbly in what was his first international event. Those matches which were unsuccessful were lost by the smallest possible margin which has motivated Rhys further to train and compete at this high level. Rhys also spent a week at an England Hopes Camp for future elite players over the summer.
Full coverage of the tournament can be found on the Table Tennis England website here.

**UPDATE** 15/09/2015
Rhys has been working his magic again after winning a big tournament over the weekend – his first in the Under 13 category. He beat the top seed and England No.6 in the final. This was after making the semi final in the Under 15s category earlier in the day, despite being only 10 years old!
His big brother Max secured his first tournament win, winning the Plate competition in the Under 15s – thankfully they didn’t have to face one other!
