Head Coach Sue Harper said: "We've expanded over the Summer months bringing in several new players and increasing the training opportunities available for junior players. We've increased our number of teams in the Warrington District League to include many junior players who are now ready to make the step up to comptetitive league table tennis."
Junior players Alex Poyner (14), Matthew Walker (15), Matthew Halsall (14) and Jordan Glendenning (12) made their Warrington League debuts last season and will now form the backbone of Warrington's two new teams along with the more experienced Andrew Rhodes (17), who captains Warrington A. New junior members Rachael Scott (12), Jonny Pine (15), Gavin Faulkener (15), Aiden Ferrie (14), Michael Eaton (17), Toby Williamson (14) and seniors Rob Clarke and Graeme Dagg complete the line up.
"Our teams have been training hard over the Summer to prepare for the season ahead," added Sue Harper.
