Young players Morgan Turner and Ryan Cates had a terrific battle at the Haywards Heath 2* Tournament last month, in both the Under-19s and Under-19s Restricted (18 year olds).

The two finals went to five sets, with some terrific table tennis, witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd. Ryan (Isle of Wight, pictured above right) led 2-1 in both finals, before Morgan (above left) took the final two games.

We look forward to hearing more about their progress in tournaments and leagues throughout the winter season and wish them the best of luck.

It’s clear that here are two great young players who are enthusiastic, ambitious and have a keen desire to improve and develop their game.
