A busy Saturday at Ballymena TTC as it hosted the concluding event in the SportNI sponsored Junior Challenger series.
The club ensured plenty of games for those participating with two group stages and a final compass knock out stage which placed players in performance order.
The first group round consisted of players of varied ability earning the privilege to play in Division 1, Division 2, Division 3 or Division 4 depending on where they finished in the group. The second group stage had players of equal ability playing for the right to play in the main knock out or the plate knock out – depending on whether the players finished first or second in the group or third and fourth in the group.
The compass knock out then sorted the players in a ranking order based on their performance on the day.
After 6 hours of extremely competitive table tennis the results were as follows
