New players joining Ottery Table Tennis Club have been kitted out with new shirts thanks to a donation from Otter Garden Centres.

The family business has sponsored additional shirts after the club saw an unexpected growth, increasing from three to five teams in the space of the year.

The tennis table club has been running for nearly 25 years and has 20 players of all ages taking part.

Currently the club’s ‘A’ team is third in the Exeter & District League first division and the ‘B’ team is top of the second division.

Otter Garden Centres Manager John Giblin said: “It’s a pleasure to provide ongoing support to the club in this way – we’re delighted that so many new players have joined over the past year.”

The club welcomes new players to join its practice on Tuesdays at the Colin Tooze sports centre.

League matches take place at The Institute.
