FOUR North Ayrshire Table Tennis recruits represented their country at a notable event.

Chad Duncan, Jamie Johnson, Patric Hollywood and Jess Hogg recently flew the flag for Scotland at The British Primary Schools Championships in Cardiff, which saw half of the eight players selected to represent Scotland from North Ayrshire Table Tennis Club.

Chad, Patric and Jamie teamed up with Aberdeen's Dylan Thies in the team event where the boys finished in fourth place, beating Isle of Man & Guernsey and just missing out on a bronze medal after a marathon match against the home team Wales, where Scotland narrowly lost out 6-4.

West Kilbride's Jess Hogg put in her best performance to date to win the bronze medal in the girls team event, alongside team mates Willow Shek (Aberdeen), Amelia Smolarek (Glasgow) and Shannon Brown (Dumfries).

The girls beat Guernsey 10-0, Isle of Man 10-0 and drew with Wales 5-5 to win the Bronze Medal on countback. Jess also picked up a bronze medal in the Girls Plate event showing that her months of hard work prior to this event paid dividends.

The full weekend's competition was a fantastic experience for Chad, Patric, Jamie and Jess in which they all performed brilliantly under pressure and showed they can compete and win on the international stage against the best players in the UK.
