Army aims for top table

摘要

The Army's new breed of table tennis players gave an encouraging performance at the annual Inter-Services competition. A narrow defeat for the set-up's A squad in the final of the team championship saw the Royal Air Force's top seeds triumph but the individual tournament proved to be a happier hunting ground for the Reds. The outfit's lead duo of LCpl Patrick Guy {1 R Irish, pictured] and Spr Kiran Tamang (RE) squared off in the gold-medal match and it was the latter who celebrated a 4-2 win. Success in the Forces showdown highlighted the growing interest in the sport, which was witnessed at the recent Army Championships - where more than 30 players were in action. "We have lost some of our top guys so there is a new bunch now coming through," Guy told SoldierSport.
