A Darlington schoolgirl has been selected for England's table tennis youth squad.

Claire Wilson, 15, above, whose father Keith is a coach for Darlington's Table Tennis Club, will represent England in the under-18s squad. Mr Wilson said: "She has done really well to be picked for the older team because there is an under 16s squad as well. I am very proud of her." Claire will represent England against Scotland, Wales and Ireland at the UK championships in Cardiff.
