Volunteers at the 2015 Sainsbury’s School Games were given a unique table tennis gift to thank them for their efforts.

A total of 10 of those who gave their time to ensure the table tennis event at Manchester Regional Tennis Centre ran smoothly were presented with bats signed by England stars Paul Drinkhall, Kelly Sibley and Sam Walker and National Performance Coach Alan Cooke.

Table Tennis England chairman Sandra Deaton made the presentation and thanked the volunteers for giving up their time and working so hard to make the event a big success.
