History

Ferndale Table Tennis club was first established as a TTk Greenhouse academy in 2007. The academy was overseen by Welsh International player Stephen Gertsen he was at the academy for 3 and a half years and had great success during his time here. Then ex-Scottish Junior International player Scott Johnston who was assistant coach at old TTk school Tonypandy and had previously helped Stephen with his coaching duties at Ferndale took over. Scott was in the position for a year. Scott moved on but the club has again managed to get a new coach who is going to continue to allow the club to grow. Gwyn Carvill from Bridgend TT club has now taken over at the school and will hopefully use his knowledge of the game and links within welsh table tennis to help the club go from strength to strength.

Ferndale Boy's Represent Wales

Liam Winders, Ethan Lewis and Steven Fawkes represented Wales on the 18th of Feb 2011 in a test match against South West England region. They were part of an 8 person Welsh team, 4 boys and 4 girls. The boys playing alongside Ashley Stravakis, Nicole Hall, Sharlene Williams, Angharad and Megan Phillips.
The boys had mixed results on the day with Ethan Lewis being the star man and getting voted "Man of the Match" after winning his two games 3-2. Liam and Steven both lost their two matches but all 3 players will have learnt something from the day.
The Wales team won overall with the boys losing their match 5-3 but the girls winning 6-2 meant that Wales had an overall victory of 9-8.
Well done boys and hopefully we will see you representing Wales more often in the near future.
