Players' Biographies

In Great Britain we have a very young talent pool that are being groomed towards success at the 2012 London Olympic Games. Our young hopefuls despite being successful in the junior rankings, achieving world recognition winning gold at the World Cadet Challenge and 10 medals at the European Youth Championships (4 gold, 2 silver and 4 bronze), just missed out on qualification for Beijing. They are gaining new career bests in the senior world rankings month after month and will be a force to reckon with when the games arrive in London.

Paul Drinkhall Senior British number 1 aged just16.
Darius Knight U21’s national champion for three consecutive years.
