London Met steal the show at Individual Table Tennis Championships

London Metropolitan University showed they are the new dominating force in university table tennis with a fantastic performance at the Individual Championships in Nottingham.

The team took four out of the five titles on offer and in doing so put on a display of high quality and exciting table tennis.

Middlesex were the only university to stand in their way with Egle Adomelyte and Sarah Brown proving triumphant in the Women’s Doubles and beating the pairing of Fe Ming Tong and Heather Knight.

Tong got her own back in the Women’s Singles Final beating Adomelyte after also taking the Mixed Doubles title with partner Tiang Chang Hong in an all London Met final.

In the Men’s Doubles Stephen Jenkins and Chris Brown of UWIC battled hard but were beaten into the silver medal position by Hong and his partner Zhang Hong Ming.

The Men’s Singles saw another all London Met final with Hong beating Ming in what was almost an exhibition match. The two bronze medals went to Jiang Zhi Tao (London Met) and Tim Yarnell (Loughborough) who, along with the rest of the Loughborough team, put up a strong fight against the London Met contingent.

In the Plate event Joanne Meads (Loughborough) won the women’s event with Devesh Shete (Cambridge) taking the Men’s title.
