Dragon Report
Dragon Report 20th November 2011
A record entry of 61 young players battled in the main hall for the 6 trophies on offer in the second Dragon of the season.
The record entry caused a few problems for the organisers who will have to limit entries for the next Dragon to be held on the 18th of December, so get your entries off early to be sure of a place.
The atmosphere in the main hall was electric as dragon players shared the hall with day 2 of the Senior Team Championships.
Under 11s and Under 15s got under way bright and early at 9am, entries in both event far exceeding those received for the last Dragon.
The larger entry brought some shock results as the winners from all 3 events at the last dragon were swept away by the tide of new talent. The under 11s winner was Jake Simeone (Swansea), whilst the runner up was last under 11s champion Joseph Roberts (Cardiff).
In the Under 15s Jack Fletcher (Bargoed) went one better than last time winning, from runner up Macauley Morgan (Cardiff). 3 of the top finishers in the under 15s have now entered next Sundays Blaenau Gwent Open, and it will be interesting to see the gap between the more established stars and the dragon contenders.
No sooner had the organisers finalised the under 11 and under 15 placings, when 31 under 13 players stormed the organisers desk to be signed in.
Again the tide of new talent swept aside the winners of the last under 13 dragon, no fewer than 5 new players finishing above the last under 13 champion. In the end Steffan Griffiths took the win from James Beadle, the end coming at 6.30pm as staff were clearing the hall!
Still, a great day of table tennis for the new players, lots of matches, lots of fun, certificates for all, and trophies for the lucky (but talented) few.

Winners at first Dragon of the Season
The 1st Dragon of the season took place on Sunday 9th of October in the main hall at the National Centre Sophia Gardens. As usual many were playing in their first tournament and it was a real thrill for these new players to be playing in the same hall as the best juniors in Wales who were contesting Junior Team Championships.
The under 11s group with 10 entries got underway at 9am together with the older under 15s. It was great to see the new players and parents and some impressive playing followed. Whitchurch Academy players coached by Simon Oyler dominated the under 15s event with Hugh Standen securing the win in a close battle against newcomer and surprise of the under 15s Jack Fletcher. The under 11s saw players from all over the south region taking part, just missing out on a trophy finishing 3rd was Cade Short, runner up was Luca Caplin and the winner was Joseph Roberts. A special mention goes to highest finishing female player Lydia John who finished in 4th place overall.
The under 13s started as usual at 1pm and a few keen under 11 entrants had a go at the older age group, thereby making the most of their trip to Cardiff. Incredibly 3 players claimed top honours all on 4 wins each in the final group. The organisers had to revert to counting sets and the final top 3 were; 3rd John Clarke, 2nd Joseph Roberts and the winner was Elliot Weinberg. This result shows how close the competition is the Dragons and the importance of trying to win every point. The next Dragon will take place on Sunday 20th of November 2011, again in the main hall at the National Centre so be sure to get your entry forms sent off early.
