Jack Mills, Alfie Sutherland and Hannah Silcock make up the remaining trio, and will be hoping to influence the final standing order on 25 January.

PwC Primary Schools Team Tournament
16 November, 2019
Last weekend saw the first ever Jersey primary schools table tennis event at the Geoff Reed Table Tennis Centre, sponsored by PwC and 5 boys and girls teams from La Moye, St Michael’s and Trinity Schools played each other in a round robin format.
There was little to separate the teams by the end but the St Michael’s duo of Theo De Poerck and Robbie Kerley finally took the honours, just pipping La Moye and JTTA President, Paul Routier MBE, presented the PwC trophies and certificates.
Audrey Tupper, who organised the event said, “We were super excited to run the event with PwC. The children were given 2 challenges – to listen and learn and also to enjoy themselves. We had a really fun afternoon and after non-stop table tennis for an hour and a half they had picked up lots of tips about playing and the rallies got longer and more varied as they got their eye in and tried out different shots. We were thrilled with their focus, enthusiasm and gamesmanship and look forward to some of them coming along to our beginners sessions on Saturdays and Sundays (12.00-1.00pm) to learn a bit more about the game.”
