High hopes for Pitchford in Bahrain

Liam Pitchford, in the middle of some of his best form after beating numerous higher ranked players in the INTERSPORT European Championships in Poland, has been selected for England to compete at the World Junior Championships in Bahrain.

The Championships run from the 13-20th November, so with Pitchford expected to progress quite far in the tournament, he will have a quick rush back to the UK for the ITTF Pro Tour Grand Finals which start on the 24th November.

The full squad is listed below:

Boys:

Liam Pitchford, Gavin Evans and Sean Cullen
