DISABLED table tennis players from Wales should be aiming for nothing less that a medal in the Paralympics this summer, according to top coach Nathan Thomas.

Robbie Davies and Paul Karabardak are both inside the world’s top 10 in their class with Davies currently ranked world number one. They train weekly right here in Cardiff and are some of the brightest medal prospects Team GB have to offer.

They train several times a week at Cardiff City Table Tennis Club. The club has only been running four years but has garnered a reputation for sporting excellence with members from around the world. Davies and Karabardak aren’t the only stars. Members Patrick  Thomas and Danielle De Jong have played in the Commonwealth and World Games respectively.
