Scottish Primary Schools Table Tennis Championships 2024

The Scottish Primary Schools Championships took place in Bathgate on Saturday 3rd February.

There was plenty expectation going into the tournament with Dean Robertson (Mile End Primary), Kiishi Adekola (Robert Gordons College) and Nikki Mo (Kittybrewster Primary) all with expectations of taking medals by the end of the day. The ASV Academy players did not disappoint, with the entire Aberdeen team doing well.

Kiishi & Nikki dominated the girls half of the event, with both girls making it to the Final for the second year in a row. It was Kiishi who once again came out on top to take the title of Girls Scottish Primary Schools Champion, and Nikki settling for the Silver Medal.
Not satisfied there however, the girls then teamed up to take the title in the Girls Scottish Primary Schools Doubles for a clean sweep of all girls events. Even more impressive is the fact the girls have now won the Girls Doubles event 3-years in a row. Given the limited time the girls are eligible at Primary School level this is a remarkable achievement, fantastic stuff!

It was going to be a much more difficult task for the boys to replicate this, but Dean did start the event as No.1 Seed, with Aaron McKay (Westhill School) also seeded at No.8.
Things did go according to seeding, with Dean making the final group of 4, and Aaron making the 5-8 place group. After good initial group performances, Parker Allerton (Newburgh Mathers School) also made the 5-8 group.
The top 4 seedings were remarkably accurate, and it was Dean in the final against No.2 seed Alexander Stepney from Inverness. It was a closely fought final, with two of the 3 games ending with just 2-points between the players, however Dean proved just a bit too strong in the end, taking the final 3-0 and claiming the title of Boys Scottish Primary Schools Champion
Aaron gave an excellent display in the 5-8 place group, outstripping his No.8 seeding and claiming a 6th place finish.
