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 5th – 7th 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.
