Jeremy Broad, Club Secretary said: “It has been a successful season for the club being able to put out six teams in the local league with two of them winning trophies.
“It was really pleasing to see the young Egrets team enjoy their first season in competitive table tennis and look forward to their future development. The club has seen numbers improve at practice sessions especially among the juniors.”
