Halstead's William Bettley has booked his place in two age categories at the National Table Tennis Championships.
Having won the under-11s events at both the Essex Schools and the Essex Closed tournament in November, the next step for the Halstead ten-year-old was beyond the county boundary and he certainly proved himself at the regional qualification for the nationals.
Bettley, who plays for the Earls Colne-based NETTS club, headed up to Wensum in Norfolk for under-11s qualification and he reached the nationals in style with a run of five victories that took him forward in first place.
