Table Tennis Championships for Krish!

Further Success for Krish 10D at Schools National Table tennis Championships

After becoming Surrey U16 Schools Table Tennis Champion as the Glyn School representative, Krish 10D competed at the National Championships on 2 April 2022, representing Surrey. The format of the championships comprised eight groups of six players, with the winner and runner up from each group progressing to the knockout stages. Krish was seeded first in his group and, after a slow start, proceeded to win all of his matches to comfortably win his group. At the last 16 stage, Krish faced Daniel, who was nationally ranked 7 places below him. Krish progressed 3-0 after a very tight third game. At the last 8 stage, Krish’s opponent was Adam, the number 4 seeded player, a left hander ranked number 4 in England, which is 7 places above him. Adam is a regular adversary who had defeated Krish on several previous occasions in tournament play. However, Krish rose to the occasion and played exceptionally well, winning in three games: 11-7, 11-6, 11-5. In the semi-final, Krish was up against the number 1 seed, Jakob, who proved too strong, with Krish losing in three highly competitive games. Krish secured the Bronze medal position; Jakob proceeded to win the competition. Following his strong performance in the Championship, Krish has been selected for England Schoolboys to compete in the home International competition against teams from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. Glyn School has continued to be amazing supporters of Krish’s table tennis progress, and I know that Krish, his family and his coaches, both local and nationally, are extremely grateful.
