Dov Katz is confident that the Team GB table tennis squad will turn on the style at next month's European Maccabi Games.

Team manager to a group of players, including several who are nationally ranked, Katz believes that his troops have what it takes to go all the way in Vienna.

"We are sending arguably the strongest ever GB table tennis squad to a European Games," Katz said.

The men's team includes three-time consecutive national MGB champion Ashley Stokes, 21, currently rated No. 61 on the national men's list and singles quarter-finalist at the Maccabiah 2009. Eli Baraty, aged 29 and rated 55, has represented GB at two EMG's and is a Maccabiah medallist.
