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.

Cheltenham Junior 4 Star

Ferndale had Liam Winder, Steven Fawkes, Ethan Lewis and Chris Griffiths representing the school at the above mentioned event. Report's about the boy's are that they once again gave their best at a top English ranking event with Chris going one step further in the Cadet Banded event than in Derby by reaching the final. The boy's will learn a lot from these events and can bring what they learn back to the academy and not only will they help themselves but also the younger players who will hopefully start attending these events with them.
