On May 10th South Ayrshire Table Tennis Club hosted an event between an Ayrshire Select (with players from all the Ayrshire Clubs) and York Road Table Tennis Club from Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. The event was a resounding success. Over 40 players ranging from junior beginners to ex-internationals competed in a highly competitive but friendly atmosphere in St Matthews Academy, Saltcoats.
Whilst Ayrshire's top team of James Weatherston, Richie Main and Ian McPherson came out on top, York Road's overall strength in depth proved the decisive factor with the Irish convincingly winning the day.
The venue at St Matthews with 12 superb tables rivaled any top international event. Thanks to North Ayrshire Council and KA Leisure. Thanks also to Grants Haggis for donating the "Robert Burns" Haggis.

Afterwards it was off to The Maharani in Troon (our shirt sponsors) for a superb curry and and some great craic with our new Irish friends. We hope to get over to Dublin for the return leg next year.
