JERSEY’S players returned from the Senior Schools’ International Table Tennis Championships in Limerick with their best set of results to date.

Seven Appleby Academy members competed at under-18, U16 and U14 levels against England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.

U18s Luke Walker and Josh Band narrowly missed out on winning a team event medal.

Jersey Table Tennis Association development officer Craig Gascoyne said: ‘This was our best tournament yet at this international level. I was pleased with everyone and Luke and Josh and Kelsey Le Maistre were unlucky to miss out on a medal.’
