Maccabi GB have selected the GB Table Tennis Squad for this summer’s Maccabiah Games in Israel.

The squad is made up of four teams – Junior Boys, Junior Girls, Open Men and Masters – and is spearheaded by multi-medal winner and Maccabiah stalwart Dov Katz, also co-chair of the Maccabi GB international table tennis committee.

The delegation features the cream of English Jewish Table Tennis talent, many of whom have Maccabiah experience, with a number of highly-ranked England players.

The Junior Boys team features Jack Josephs, a double-gold-medal winner at the last European Maccabi Games in Vienna and current England Junior No. 60; and the trio of Sasha Somers, Joseph Klein and Ronen Weinstein, who are all competing in their first Maccabiah Games.
