Daniel Basterfield is junior champion for England
Tuesday 15 December 2009
Daniel Basterfield took the English crown in Sheffield this weekend in a powerfully athletic display of table tennis, beating Richard Andrews 3-1 in the final.
Daniel and Richard then joined forces on the same side of the table to take bronze in the doubles!
It wasn't all smooth sailing for Daniel. A difficult draw to start meant he had to fight hard to move into the quarter finals to beat hot favourite Sean Cullen, 3-2. He then played a great match to progress to the semi finals to meet Jared Patel, a surprise semi finalist.
Well done, Daniel!
