Warrington Table Tennis Club's Daniel Clarke wins at Burton

Posted by Warrington TTC on 15 November 2010

Warrington Table Tennis Club's Daniel Clarke secured a 1* Junior Open tournament win in the under 13s at Burton Uxbridge on 14 November.

Daniel had to contend with strong players in both his group and the knockout stages yet secured a clean sweep of 3-0 victories in all three group matches and another in the quarter finals. In his semi-final Daniel dropped just one game, taking victory on a fifth match-point, winning 17-15 in a tense fourth game.

In the final, sensing his first tournament win of the season, a determined Daniel didn't allow any lapses in concentration and saw the match out relatively quickly, again in three games straight.

Daniel Clarke's coach, David Hulme, was impressed with a consistent performance and said: "Daniel has been training hard since the start of the season and has fully returned to form since breaking his ankle in the summer. Daniel's hard work has paid off, everything in his game came together today. In match after match opponents couldn't cope with Daniel's movement, pace and tricky spins."
