WEST Cornwall Table Tennis League members have had huge success at the recent Cloudathlete Pride of Table Tennis Awards which were held on Saturday, March 22 at an awards dinner during the Mark Bates Ltd National Championships, writes Kelly Plumb.

The three finalists from each category were invited to the awards dinner, and the winner of each of the 12 categories were announced.

Craig Mehew won the ‘Level The Table’ Award. This is an inclusivity award given to outstanding volunteering for underrepresented groups in table tennis e.g. women and girls, ethnically diverse and disabled.

The league has seen all of the amazing work Craig has done in the St Austell area, and applaud him for his efforts over the last 12 months. A true inspiration!

Mencap’s Chris Ballett - won the ‘Cornilleau Partner of the Year’, for going above and beyond in their support and work with the sport. This is closely linked with the work that Craig and the charity Mencap have done with the set up of the new Ultra League for adults with learning disabilities. A great new addition to table tennis in Cornwall.

St Just Primary School took home the Tees Sport School of the Year for the significant impact the school have had in developing young people through table tennis.

The school at Cape Cornwall provide regular table tennis training sessions for all pupils and thrive to help the children develop. A big thank you to David May for arranging this agreement with the school and making it all possible.
