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.

TTAW Master's

Ferndale was represented at the Welsh Master's by Chris Griffiths. He was selected to play in the pre-arranged matches but he also played the qualifier to play in the main event.
The qualifying event took place in the afternoon at WIS. Chris played very well but sadly was unable to qualify for the main event but finished 3rd, losing out to eventual finalist of the Main Event and Ex-Welsh Senior Internationalist Patrick Thomas.
In his pre-arranged match for the evening he was drawn to play Ryan Oyler. This was always going to be an exciting match with both players playing fluent and exciting table tennis up close and away from the table. Chris showed his dominance from the word go and won 2-0. Well Done Chris.
