Bly Twomey, 15, wins second gold at European Para Table Tennis Championships


Grace Williams also won silver in the women’s class eight singles after losing by the same scoreline to Wolf in the final.

It took the British team’s medal haul to 13, adding to medals won earlier in the tournament by Rob Davies, Tom Matthews, Chris Ryan, Martin Perry, Billy Shilton, Williams, Bishop and Pickard.

Twomey paid tribute to Bayley’s influence on her career, with the pair having first met at Brighton Table Tennis Club in 2021.

“From the start Will has been my inspiration and it’s amazing to play with such a great player,” Twomey said.

“If someone had told me at the beginning of this season that I would get two golds and one bronze at the Europeans I wouldn’t think it would happen.

“I just want to keep on having fun and try to get to the Paralympic final at LA 2028.”
