Table tennis is a fast-paced indoor sport which is both easy to play and challenging to master. Truly a game that everyone can enjoy whether young or old.  

When played intensively, table tennis is lauded for being aerobic exercise, exercising both the upper and lower body as well as increasing hand-eye coordination. 

The UG Table Tennis Club caters for players of all standards, with some who wish to train intensively with our coach, and others who simply play for fun.

We aim to hold some in-house tournaments this academic year and all going well, we will send players/teams from UG Table Tennis Club to attend various competitions with other institutions.

History

The UG Table Tennis Club was re-established at the start of 2010, and is based in the Kingfisher Club. 6 new championship tables were shipped in from Germany. In 2013. the club won the UG leadership award and was presented with €14,000 to purchase an extra 8 new table as well as two robots, making us the best equipped club UG.

In 2014 UG hosted the all Ireland Intervarsities.
