Smiles all round for Caplin

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">This weekend saw the Waterside Table Tennis Club 1* U11 and U13 tournament n Southampton. Luca Caplin from the Mumbles Table Tennis Club headed down to experience a new environment.</span></span><br /> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">From the outset in the U11 the competition was fierce with players from across the South of England and London region competing for the honours. The success of the previous week wasn’t to be repeated with two close five set games in the group stage both ending in narrow defeats, and subsequent wins not enough to lift Luca through to the semi-finals. </span></span></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">In the afternoon it was the turn of the U13 with a large turn out of local players, a large contingent from the Greenhouse Club.  Luca was playing for experience, but produced his best table tennis of the day to mix some stunning wins with close defeats after 5 sets. </span></span></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Overall it was valuable experience for Luca and and a thoroughly enjoyable day. Comments were received from multiple coaches regarding his concentration and involvement, both whilst playing and umpiring, along with the constant smile on his face and the enjoyment portrayed whilst playing. </span></span></div>

From the turn out on the day it was easy to see how popular Betty is and how many people she has helped over the years. In the picture below this is just a small amount of trophies she has one from all over the world. <br /> <br /> Recently, Betty walked with the Olympic Torch through her hometown Swansea. Roy Towell (Pictured with Betty) helps Betty on both a Friday and Sunday night in Penlan Club. The partnership have brought through a number of Welsh Champions and Welsh Internationals and are still generating a great deal more.<br /> <br /> Thank you both for all your work!!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixP0Yj3EyFdspX4kmi-Rmj8QE-K2tmBatyT4JnN8L83tp7vHFch7qZU95EfbTMGquZhRwhUQG6XhEXDvVoB79O7PXs-svPb9IUwkxMeEytdEFjsTqfM7e3h-KnbJo-paI-Cu3mG2TV0a0e/s1600/IMG-20120630-00734.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixP0Yj3EyFdspX4kmi-Rmj8QE-K2tmBatyT4JnN8L83tp7vHFch7qZU95EfbTMGquZhRwhUQG6XhEXDvVoB79O7PXs-svPb9IUwkxMeEytdEFjsTqfM7e3h-KnbJo-paI-Cu3mG2TV0a0e/s200/IMG-20120630-00734.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1h1tcHPtahWXcr4FhZlkRUluLPHF9A1nu7VXxS2eNj_orSrVvJwWTI2YyGdbKRdEcEUZ7jm4xhezRoXUDVjXNNa16Zf79QWflTDqLr4Wjad5lu26YR1F3TYSRh-ozQJMsqX4nyb_hHV0Z/s1600/IMG-20120630-00738.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1h1tcHPtahWXcr4FhZlkRUluLPHF9A1nu7VXxS2eNj_orSrVvJwWTI2YyGdbKRdEcEUZ7jm4xhezRoXUDVjXNNa16Zf79QWflTDqLr4Wjad5lu26YR1F3TYSRh-ozQJMsqX4nyb_hHV0Z/s320/IMG-20120630-00738.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
