Amber (13) represented an England table tennis team in France

Amber Lemmon (13), from Hampton Hargate, was part of a six-strong England squad at the event which is a key tournament in the development of promising athletes aged 11 to 13.

In the Under 13 Girls category, Lemmon came through three group stages, but was then drawn against the top qualifier, Michelle Wu of Switzerland, in the round of 16. It was a 3-0 (11-9, 11-1, 11-6) victory for Wu, who went on to win the silver medal.

The local girl dropped into the positional play-offs for ninth to 16th but was unable to win a further match and finished in 16th, though she narrowly missed out 3-2 (12-14, 11-8, 11-5, 9-11, 14-12) to Eva Chalkovskyte of Lithuania in her final match.

Lemmon is part of the Table Tennis England performance pathway, which identifies and coaches talented youngsters with the potential to represent England and Great Britain at major international events right up to the Olympic Games. She is the current Under 13 Girls' Singles national champion.
