Two Warrington Table Tennis Club juniors have made it through to the National Championships this November.
Amy Hutchings, 15, and Daniel Clarke, 16, will represent the North West region at the English Junior National Championships taking place in Preston on 22 November.
As well as competing in the boys and girls events, Amy and Daniel will play together for the first time at this level in the mixed doubles.
Amy Hutchings started playing table tennis aged eight and is currently ranked 23rd in the junior girls in England. She plays for Warrington in the Junior British League, for Lancashire in the County League and plays in Warrington's and Liverpool's local leagues. Amy is also Warrington Table Tennis Club's 2014-15 Junior Amabassador.
Daniel Clarke is one of Warrington Table Tennis Club's longest standing junior members and a former Junior Ambassador of the club. He competes in the Junior British League, plays for Cheshire in the County League and last month made his debut in the Senior British League, as well as competing in the Oldham and Warrington local leagues.
