It was not once, not twice , but three times a champion for British Table Tennis Association For The Disabled player Craig Allen on Sunday 4th October at Halton Para Open.
Craig convincingly took the Gold medal in the Class 9/10 singles before taking a second gold medal with fellow player Tim Fields in the doubles. Craig said “Tim and I have won gold together before but Tim is not my normal partner so we had to really focus on each game. We had some tough opposition but out tactics paid off in the end”.
