Horsham Table Tennis Club

Things are looking good for Horsham Table Tennis Club as it reflects on a highly progressive 2009-10 season that has just passed and prepares with optimism for the next campaign to come.

On the tables the Horsham A team led by Rory Scott won the local league Premier Division for the second season in succession, a big deal for a club that has trailed in the wake of its big rivals, Crawley Community TTC, for the previous 20 years or so. A number of new, well reputed players have just joined the club so perhaps there will be more than one Horsham team looking to have a say in the destination of silverware next season.

First gold medal winners in the table tennis events at a Youth Olympic Games

Japan’s Koki Niwa and China’s Gu Yuting wrote their names indelibly into the history books of sport by becoming the first gold medal winners in the table tennis events at a Youth Olympic Games.


In the splendid setting of the Singapore Indoor Arena both players justified their no.1 seeded position; both withstood the intense pressure of the occasion to reserve the top step of the medal podium.

Koki Niwa defeated Chinese Taipei’s Hung Tzu-Hsiang in six games whilst, in four straight games, Gu Yuting overcame the host nation’s Isabelle Siyun Li.
Gu Yuting succeeded 11-8, 11-5, 11-8, 11-9 with Koki Niwa closing the curtain on the individual events by overcoming Chinese Taipei’s Hung Tzu-Hsiang 9-11, 11-8, 13-11, 13-15, 11-7, 15-13.
