Table Tennis is a new sport on offer at Shapwick School and the students have responded enthusiastically and in great numbers in the Autumn Term.  28 students from years 9 – 11 have regularly attended after school clubs.

The staff also responded enthusiastically when challenged to an end of term fixture against the students. The following staff and pupils turned up to play:

Peter Jenkins                      Mr Harrison

Will Dix                              Mr Gray

Benji Jones                         Mr Hulatt

Adam McGowan                Mr Windsor

Michael Paz                        Mrs Leese

George Morris                    Mrs Macklin

Tom Keeley                        Ms Carr

Anthony Parkes                   Mrs Walker

Becky Wright                      Mrs Hulatt

Hollie Burge                        Mrs Bullock

Lots of students arrived to spectate and their support was well received.  Callum Maslen proved to be an excellent photographer.

All the games were hard fought and closely matched and on the first 4 tables there was nothing to split the two teams.  With four points to be won or lost on each of these tables the score finished at 8-8 so the attention turned to table 5.  Anthony Becky and Hollie played with skill and enthusiasm but were outclassed by superb performance from the Mrs Walker, Hulatt and Bullock,  the staff won all the points on this table to make the final score 14-8 to the staff.

A superb end of term finale was enjoyed by all and will be repeated.

Mr Harrison would like to give a huge thanks to all students and staff who supported the event to the numerous spectators and finally a big thanks to Callum for his time, effort and expertise.
