And the National Cadet League (NCL) season has started. This year, twelve teams, divided into three divisions, started the competition at Waterside. Youngsters of clubs from Southampton, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Winchester displayed high quality tabletennis skills.

Waterside TTC was represented by two teams. The “A” team with Max, Artur and William played in Division 2, and the “B” team, with Josh, James and Katie in Division 3. As in last year, Amy formed a strong team with Ruth and Emma in the Bournemouth “D” team.

The Waterside B team, playing their first season in the NCL, showed a lot of potential and by the end of the season we will see some very good results from the three youngsters.

The “A” played a very strong competition and ended the day promoted to Division 1. The boys ended tied in first place with the girls from the Bournemouth “D” team but went up because they won the head-to-head match against the girls. Next round will be a big challenge!

James, Artur and William enjoyed playing for Waterside

It was a great experience for James, Artur and William. They started this year’s National Cadet League as the youngest ever WTTC team, this being their first competitive tournament. The improvement of these youngster was noticeable from the first round back in October 2010 to the last round on 13th March 2011. They are certainly looking forward to next year’s and to new challenges ahead.

James, Artur and William

James, William and Artur are for sure Waterside’s youngest ever team and are playing in the National Cadet League (NCL). They have already played three rounds in the league against teams from Bournemouth Winchester and Portsmouth, who have players a fair bit older than themselves. Although the standards of players in the NCL are quite high, the enthusiasm of the three Waterside musketeers keep them going, and between them they have already won several games. We have to remember that this is an under 15 competition – so they have another four or five years to go. They will be a force for the future, well done lads.
