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.

UK School Games

To end a very busy weekend in Welsh Table Tennis an automatic qualification event was held for the UK School Games. This is a fantastic event and great opportunity to compete with all the best players from the UK representing either their county in England or national team for Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Charlotte Carey and Lewis Williams won automatic qualification events but the good news for Ferndale is that Chris Griffiths has been selected to represent Wales at this huge event. Well Done Chris and Good Luck.
