Pre-IWAS Junior Development Para Table Tennis Squad Preparation Tournament

Donegal does it again!!! Marcus Ward wins Silver!

Thursday evening at the Kingfisher found members of the junior para table tennis development squad competing in a preparation tournament in advance of their participation in the IWAS event at the beginning of August.

Nine athletes competed in this event, and the entry included members of the Galway Speeders Para Table Tennis Club, members of the local commercial table tennis club and also members from the Para Table Tennis Development Squad.

Tournament Director, Ronan Rooney was very pleased with the high standard of the competition and we truly saw some fantastic competition. According to Ronan “all players played above themselves and this is great to see and it will benefit the travelling squad greatly when the find themselves in competition abroad in two weeks’ time”.

The overall winner of the competition was Luke Wall, member of the Commercial Boat Club. Marcus Ward won the Silver and Jack Colbert won the bronze.
