Many thanks to Asda, i was able to afford to fund going to the International Youth Cup held in Belgium last month. I went with 2 other IYS players, Sam Mabey and Daniel Lawrence. We had an amazing time and we won the team event, beating teams from France, Germany and Belgium. In the final we beat a team from Belgium 4-2 and i was really pleased to have won my 2 singles matches!

I was then thrilled to get selected to play for England in the 6 nations cadet tournament held in Zwolle in the Netherlands last weekend. I played some of my best tabletennis ever and got 50% wins in the team event. We beat the Netherlands 7-3, but lost to Sweden, Denmark, Germany and France. It was a great experience!
