Five girls from Denbigh Table Tennis Club brought home six trophies from across the border mid December.
Chloe Edwards, Gabbi Wan, Faye Evans, Kate Roberts and Lucie Chinnery-Williams travelled to Blackpool early on Sunday morning with coaches Alan Griffiths and Kath Banks to take part in the Stiga 1-star Tournament at the Palatine Leisure Centre.
Star of the day was thirteen-year-old Chloe Edwards, who won the Junior Girls’ Plate competition, claiming a marathon 5-set victory over Zarah Dixon of Lancashire on the way, in which she clinched the final set 22-20; she defeated club-mate Gabbi Wan in straight sets in the final. Chloe was also runner-up in the Cadet Girls event.
11-year-old Faye Evans also distinguished herself in what was her first tournament outside Wales by coming runner-up in the Under 13 event, while Gabbi Wan, Kate Roberts and Lucie Chinnery-Williams all claimed runner-up spots, in the Junior Girls Plate, Under 13 Plate and Under 11 Plate events respectively.
Chloe is received her Junior Girls’ Plate trophy from Katie Parker, the former England number one.
