On the 24^th & 25^th of March 2018, the Annual Inter League Competition was held in Bells Sports Centre, Perth. The Inter League saw 7 Leagues (regions) take part: West of Scotland, Stirlingshire, Edinburgh & Lothians, Aberdeen, Dumfries, Dundee and Perth. The standard of this year’s event was much higher than in previous years, with some great competition for all players from Under 13 through to the Veterans, which is 40⁺.

The West of Scotland, throughout the weekend, had a great team spirit - each team getting behind another when they were not playing. Also, the support from all the parents and coaches who took their time to help out was fantastic.

With all West of Scotland teams playing some great table tennis and great sportsmanship, we retained the Stewart McGowan Trophy - a trophy for the region that collected the most points over the weekend.

How to gain points:

• Winner of catergory = 10 points
• 2^nd in catergory = 7 points
