The “icing on the cake” was Matthew Outhwaite being selected to play for England Schoolboys. Four club members (Ben Meakin, Jack Randle, Jesse Kendrick-Hill and Matthew Outhwaite) were the Sheriff U16 team who finished as runners up in the National Schools event. Jesse was also a member of the Club’s Cadet team with Ryan Lines and Richard Partridge who were also runners up - in the National Cadet League. Matthew and Jack were also regulars in the Warwickshire County Juniors team. At a more local level Rugby A are champions with Rugby B runners up in the Daventry League. The A team added their fifth title in seven years. The A team regulars were Dave Daniels (87%), David Kao (88%), Peter Moffatt (41%) and Don Pritchard (53%). Rugby B also had a fairly consistent team of Alan Chan (87%), David Gillibrand (65%) and Jack Koumi (30%) with Marion Dixon playing five matches for an average of 40%.

The beginners league has also been very successful thanks to a grant from the borough council. Several schools are still benefitting from regular coaching sessions and the East Warwickshire School Sports Partnership started an inter-schools league for Rugby's schools. Away from the table the club has also prospered from two grants; one from the Borough Council to start a beginners league and the other from the lottery to run "Girls Only" sessions.

ENGLISH SCHOOLS RUNNERS-UP The Lawrence Sheriff Under 16 boys’ table tennis team played in the National Finals of the English Schools Table Tennis Competition on Saturday 28th March. It was a massive achievement to reach the finals, where just the top four schools in the country battle for the title, having come through various rounds and tough competition to reach this final round. The team of Matthew Outhwaite, Jack Randle, Jesse Kendrick-Hill and Ben Meakin were determined to play their best, but knew there would be no easy matches. Their first match, against Springwell School from Derbyshire, was a hard start to the day with two of the opposing team ranking in the top ten junior players in the UK. Despite this, the Lawrence Sheriff boys put up a good fight, with Matthew even managing to take a set of their no 1 player. Jack, Ben and Jesse each won one of their games giving a final score of 3-5 to Springwell. Next came West London Academy, who would have expected to win comfortably, but the Lawrence Sheriff team were not to be intimidated. They played some amazing table tennis to win 5-3 against all expectations. Going into the final match, against Calday Grange Grammar School from Merseyside, the boys knew they needed a draw, or better, to have a chance of second place. Their excellent form continued and, despite some thrilling close 5 set matches which could have gone either way, the Lawrence Sheriff players showed tremendous character and determination to win the match 7-1.This gained them the silver medal position behind Springwell School, the only school to beat them in the entire competition. This is a fantastic achievement by a very talented team and reflects the hard work that the boys have put into training. Particular thanks go to Rugby Table Tennis Club for their support and coach Adrian Pilgrim who accompanied the team to the finals at Hinckley.
