On Saturday 7 February, the U13 Boys Table Tennis team from Ark Alexandra Academy proudly represented the school at the Regional Finals held in Horsham.
Drawn in a challenging group against schools from Surrey and Berkshire, Liam, Dylan, Milo, and Finlay delivered a series of impressive performances. Each player secured at least one individual win, contributing to excellent team victories of 5–3 and 9–8, which saw Ark Alexandra progress to the play-off stage.
The boys were then drawn against St Andrews Prep in a rematch of the county round. Demonstrating clear improvement since their previous meeting, the team produced more wins and far closer matches. Despite their determined effort, the fixture ended in a narrow 5–3 defeat.
The team should be extremely proud of achieving regional status, a fantastic accomplishment that reflects their commitment and progress. With three of the four players eligible to compete again next year, the future looks very promising for Ark Alexandra table tennis.
Congratulations to all involved, we look forward to seeing how the boys continue to develop.
