Cippenham’s Shae Thakker has gone through the entire National Junior League season unbeaten – a feat unmatched by any other player from the 24 competing teams.
Playing for Cippenham A in the National Junior League Division 2, Thakker won all 35 of his matches. However, despite his heroics, his team could only finish in fourth place when the final round of matches concluded on Saturday, having been second at the conclusion of the second round. Shae’s team-mates, Scarlett Jones and Carys Evans, both won 10 times during the season.
Thakker, who emerged during season 2014-15 with winning performances at the SportsAble Disability Grand Prix and the Cippenham Club Championships, has been included in the Great Britain Para Development Squad and has already represented GB twice on foreign soil.
