This was a great chance for our youngsters to gain some excellent training with a number of players across the border. On the Saturday the boys attended the Development day with around 27 participants. During the day they played a friendly match against the Regional squad.<br /><br />4 boys from the East were Ethan Walsh, Anthony Close, Jordan Ingles and James Knudson. They secured a 7-3 victory overall against out Welsh youngsters.<br /><br />In the a afternoon a tournament was held with 7 groups consisting of 3 players and 1 group with 4 players. The top 2 went through to the main draw with the others going into a consolation event. The tournament although very competitive was played in a great spirit. The semi finals of the main draw saw 2 Welsh v 2 English with Ethan Walsh knocking out number one seed Thomas Heydon and Lawrence John beating number 2 seed Anthony Close to quite fittingly set up a Wales v England finale. 9 year old Ethan played superbly in the final with aggresive table tennis taking it 2-0 against Lawrence. Well to Lawrence on his first trip away.</div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615252141694023746" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxoiNsv78N5lm0GhxjLkN7Y4MQdw-gzYFW2e9WtJWujcJXHU9M2sXSeWasudiYCOZZ3xfyNn9x4ONpOTbI8X40QkM5aJDRqn828vAyXEJrpS3rFJ9Evkv4j3RtvfPnhT8Re8FP8Kx5voHc/s320/Epping+Forest-20110604-00191.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: pointer" /><br />The boys then attended the under 14's Regional squad on the Sunday. </div><br /><div><br />Well done to all the boys on their hard word over the weekend.<br /><br />A big thank you goes to Stephen Gertsen for his hard work on organising the event and inviting kids from his former stomping ground.</div>
