SEA Junior Table Tennis Championships - Warm-Up for Clarence and Isabelle
Youth Olympic Team Paddlers Chew Zhe Yu Clarence, Tan Kiat Yi Kerry, Li Siyun Isabelle and Lam Teng Si has been selected to participate in the annual South East Asia Junior Table Tennis Championships. These 4 teenagers emerged after a selection trial and they will be representing the republic in the U15 Events.

In the U18 Boys' Events, National Team Paddler Pang Xue Jie will be joined by Youth Team Paddlers Lim Jie Yan, Chong Hur Ying Darren, Teo Yi De Benjamin. Pang played in the U15 event last year where he won 1 Gold and 1 Silver in the Boys' Singles and together with Darren in the Boys' Doubles Event respectively.

Meanwhile, the U18 Girls' Events will be headed by Kwa Hui Qi, together with Look Pei Yee Sylvia, Wong Xi Wen Samantha and Chng Rui Min. Sylvia was the biggest winner last year when she beat defender Isabelle in the U15 Girls' Singles to capture the title. Her other 2 Gold Medals came from the U15 Girls' Doubles where she partnered Isabelle, and the Girls' Team. Watch out for her as she will be playing the U18 Events this year instead.

It is heartening to see new faces in the team as Sim Kai Xin Zena and Goh Yi Long graduates from the Competition.

Lets wish all our Youth Paddlers All The Best in the Competition!
