As a result of winning the Ulster Team Championships, RBAI represented Ulster in the All-Ireland Table Tennis Championships held at National Indoor Arena. Our Under 13 team consisted of Christopher Allsop, Dylan Shanmuganathan, Max Wilson, Ryan McBride, Bryson McClelland and captained by Aaditya Singh. In the tournament the boys played the winning teams from the other provincial championships.
The boys played the Leinster Champions, Castleknock College, in the final. As expected, the challenge was a tough one. In a topsy turvy, best of 9 games, the boys managed to take the game to final doubles matchups as the singles finished up 4-2.
We won our first doubles game to bring it back to 4-3 but unfortunately lost our second doubles game to lose the overall match 5-3. All the boys played exceptionally well in all their matches and unfortunately were beaten narrowly.
