The MTTC Cadet team did the club very proud by winning the Division 3 of the Cadet British Club League last week in the final tournament of the season. Fantastic effort from all involved both last week and the previous rounds to build up to this great result – it really shows how all the Juniors are improving in just one year! We won 6-3, 7-2 and all came down to the last match winner takes all where we won 5-4 (nerves of steel). Congratulations on your great performance and to all 6 (Flynn, Raffaele, Kiran, Tristan, Harry K and Daniel) that played in the four Sunday tournaments.

 

We are hoping to continue this form next season!

Well done again to all the juniors we had playing a the Cadet British League Event. They won their division have been promoted back up to Division 3 for the next, and final, round of the season.

It was such a close competition, it went down to count back on games/points for the promotion. Goes to show every point counts win or lose – great effort.

Great match with Cleeve Park Juniors last week! Losing out in a close encounter 43 – 32. We had several players playing for the club for the first time showing our strength coming into the club – well done all. Everyone played well and enjoyed the friendly interclub competition. We look forward to the return match!

The Maidstone club competed in a very strong Cadet British Club League Division 3 last weekend after promotion last time and played very well overall. Losing 2 close matches 5-4 and 6-3 and then 9-0 to the top team. All 3 players competed well and won matches individually. We hope to bounce back next time in Division 4 at the next event.

 

Well done to the team!

Maidstone TTC had great success recently at the Cadet British Club League with three team wins out of three in the 4th Division – winning 9-0, 8-1 and 7-2.

 

Well done to Flynn (9/9), Raffaele (8/9) and Harry (7/9) for a brilliant day of games – you did MTTC very proud!

Delyth North, Maidstone Table Tennis Champion and founder member of the New Maidstone Table Tennis Club was excited to be selected to represent Wales at the Veterans Home Nations tournament in Nottingham last weekend 5^th – 7^th September 2025.

Expressing her delight at being selected she said “It’s about 25 years or more since I represented Wales last … I’ll be playing in the Home Nations again but this time in the VETTS Team”.

Since her selection Delyth has been training hard at the new Maidstone Table Tennis Club and her hard work paid off with Wales getting Bronze in the team event and with teammate Catherine Jones a silver medal in the Doubles.  Delyth commented that it was 30 years ago that she and Catherine last played together for Wales then in the Junior Home Nations.

Returning to the Maidstone club last evening to fulfil her weekly junior coaching duties she thanked everyone for their support and said “I played the best I’ve ever played! Practice obviously works!”.

Delyth is particularly keen for more girls to join the Maidstone club and hopefully follow in her footsteps.
