Ashby School win at the Post 16 Table Tennis Finals

9 Teams from across Leicestershire, Leicester City & Rutland, took part in the first Team Leicestershire Final on 23/11/2015.

'Team Leicestershire' is the new umbrella Association for all traditional competitive school sport in secondary schools across Leicestershire, Leicester City and Rutland.

The main aim of Team Leicestershire is to ensure that as many young people as possible are able to represent their school and compete in a variety of sports / competitions, both at a local level against neighbouring schools, but then with the opportunity to progress through to county finals.

Team Leicestershire also aims to re-ignite, support and profile our County Representative Sides, so that our most talented young people have the opportunity to represent their County with pride on a regional and national stage.

In a closely fought contest, it was Ashby School (North West Leicester) that took home the gold medals. Wigston College (Oadby & Wigston) came second, with Bosworth Academy (Hinckley & Bosworth) finishing in third position.

Results – Post 16 Boys:
