Three representatives from Northumbria attended the National Table Tennis Championships in Norfolk in May 2009 having qualified through the regional set up:
Steve Todd (failed to reach the finals) Alison Bell and Nicola Baker reached the semi finals in their events however the standard was extremely high with some forces represented by International standard players.
2010 will witness the Force Championships in February 2010 followed by the regional qualifiers scheduled to take place on 12th March 2010 at The Parks North Shields.
Northumbria possess some experienced players and it is hoped that the number of qualifiers for the Nationals will increase in 2010.

In a tough Police Sport UK Ladies Basketball Tournament Northumbria's team reached the quarter finals.
Northumbria's team - PC Karen Eaketts, PC Nicola Hughes, Kim Johnson, PC Stacey Ehala, PC Jocelyn Raine, Alyson Davey, PC Emma Chambers and
Sgt Karen Graham - gave a strong performance to progress to the quarter finals where they played the 2010 winners and eventual 2011 winners from the Met.
Northumbria's team was re-formed in 2010, and they brought five new players to the 2011 tournament including, Kim, Stacey, Emma, Jocelyn and Karen.
The draw put Northumbria up against Lancashire and the West Midlands in the first round.
A strong team defensive performance together with sharp shooting from national league player Karen Eaketts and three point shooting from Jocelyn Raine meant the team progressed to the quarter finals and their game with the Met whose team was made up predominantly of national league players.
The Met team was shocked by the strong aggressive defence from Northumbria. Power forward Alyson Davey gave an exceptionally strong defensive performance against the Met.
Northumbria's team Coach Tom Calvert said: " Despite our strong defence we were eventually out gunned by the Met, though we did manage to keep them to their lowest score of the tournament."
The team is currently looking for new players for this season. Anyone interested should contact Nicola Hughes (8731) or Tom Calvert (750) via e-mail. Training is held twice a month at the HQ sports hall on Wednesdays, at 7pm.
