Today was the final E3 session at Ferndale and it has ended a very difficult year for the players at Ferndale. Since Stephen left at Christmas the players have had a lot taken away from them and put through a very difficult period for training and development. Even though numbers at after-school have dropped and one-to-one sessions during school time have ended several players have continued to support the club on a daily basis and have been working very hard along with new players attending on a regular basis.
With the Community club now set-up, Ferndale has a great opportunity to take over as one of the top clubs in Wales. Ferndale is very lucky at the support it gains from the parents of the players as I cannot think of any other club in Wales that has such dedication. If this continues and numbers at this Community club continue to increase then this club has a very successful future ahead.
I think Laura Willaims, Ferndale 5x60 officer, deserves a massive thank you for making sure that Table Tennis in Ferndale continues to be a main focus point not only in E3 and 5x60 but through-out the school and now the community. I would also like to thank all the players and parents for sticking by the club through this difficult time and hopefully their faith will be rewarded in the near future.
