The 2024 Mark Bates National Senior Championships will be a landmark event for Barrow table tennis! This is the first time two players from Barrow have qualified to play at the event - which features just 32 of England's  top players.  Emily Bolton, from Askam, has automatic entry with her National Ranking standing at number 2. She will be joined by Barrow junior player, Sophie Ackred who fought her way through the Qualifying Tournament. Sophie finished tenth out of 14 qualifiers. 

The Tournament takes place in Nottingham over the weekend of 23rd / 24th March. You can read more and find out how to get tickets to support our two players by visiting the Table Tennis England website - At-a-glance guide to who has secured a spot at the Nationals - Table Tennis England

Congratulations and Good Luck to both players. 

Let's hope there is an all Barrow match up!
