In the under 13 competition the schools topping their groups and progressing to the semi finals were John Warner, Presdales, St George's and Monk's Walk. Following some close games, Presdales and Monk's Walk emerged as finalists with Presdales going on to lift the trophy.

The under 16 competition was structured so that three teams made it through to the final stage and played a round robin to determine the winning school. The three finalists were Barclay, St Albans Girl's School and Ashlyns. The competition was extremely close with St Alban's Girls School just edging out Ashylns to take the title.

The boys' competition was held at Hitchin Boys' School on Thursday 26^th November. Schools were split in to 4 pools. The winning school in each pool then played against each other to determine the final positions of the top four schools. In the U13's age group St Edmund's College emerged triumphant whilst in the U16s it was a win for Watford Boys' School.

All of the table tennis competitions mentioned above were organised and run by Amanda Robinson, Competition Manager for St Albans and Harpenden. Local table tennis clubs Sandridgebury, Watford Jets and Urban Progress were on hand to provide advice, information and guidance to players throughout the first and second round of the competition. St Albans and Harpenden did extremely well and should be congratulated on their achievement, well done.
