Bryncelynnog Comprehensive in Beddau proudly boasts introducing
Sara Head to table tennis.
And it is an introduction that has paid dividends. In 2009, she
achieved bronze medal s at both the World Championships and the
European Championships. More recent results include a string of
podium places on the 2011 circuit including gold at the Bayreuth
Open.
She has also represented Wales at two Commonwealth Games (2002
and 2006) and was disappointed to miss out on selection to the
Beijing Paralympics in 2008.
But she is certainly out to make amends and is eager to compete
in London.
It comes as no surprise considering she is coached by
multi-Paralympic table tennis champion Jim Munkley. Believing he
has had the greatest impact on her sporting career, Sara is eager
to emulate the achievements of her mentor and match his vast medal
haul.
