TFL Youth Travel Ambassadors

some tough opposition, with 5 players progressing to the knockout stages. Like last year it was Tiffin v Tiffin in the round of 16; this time Harshil v Ashrith. The standard was exceptional with some brilliant shotmaking, but there has to be a winner. Ashrith won narrowly and progressed to the quarter-finals along with Darshan but despite valiant efforts from both players they missed out on the semi- finals. The U13 South London individual qualifiers took place on 14 th February. Aarya Karthik, Ewan Brett, Qais Kamaraldin, Harry Cowan, Gavin Tsui and Om Sharma went to Wallington accompanied by Miss Bond and Mr Costello. As with the U16s, the standard was exceptional. In the group stages Ewan Brett had to face the U13 England number 1 and in the knockout stages Aarya drew the U13 England number 3. An excellent experience for both players and one that they will no doubt take much from. Qais played some tremendous matches en route to the quarter finals, just missing out on qualification for the National Finals. To be fielding as many players in both age groups as the Table Tennis heavyweights, Whitgift and Wallington, was fantastic. Well done to all competitors!

Last month Tiffin School’s Year 10 Youth Travel Ambassadors were invited to a ‘Dragon’s Den’ event at Sky’s headquarters in South London. They had to pitch their vision of how Tiffin school could improve their safer/greener travel. Happily the judges agreed with their vision and offered the ambassadors the full amount of £250. Well done to everyone in involved!
