HEATHFIELD School pupil Charlotte Bardsley won two golds at the Senior Schools International Table Tennis Tournament, which was held at the University of Limerick.

The best players from Ireland and Great Britain qualified to represent their respective countries in this event through county and then national tournaments.

The year nine pupil started her qualification back in January, winning the Worcestershire schools title and then finishing as runner-up in the England Schools national competition in April.

This meant she was selected to represent England in both the U14 team and individual competitions.

In the team competition, along with her partner from Norfolk, they were unbeaten in all their matches to claim the gold medal. Bardsley maintained her fantastic form in the singles and won another gold medal by defeating her team-mate in a thrilling final. These two golds are added to the two she won last year when the competition was held in Perth, Scotland.

This weekend’s achievements have been a perfect preparation for her next tournament in July which is the European Youth Championships being held in Zagreb, Croatia.
