Emma’s Coach Barry Clarke stated,

“Emma is the most driven player I have had the privilege of coaching. She wants to practice everyday, is always up for a challenge, while ultimately having so much fun!

She has made lots of new friends by competing in the Ulster circuit over the summer and has learned to deal with lots of different circumstances which will aid her development.

Her parents Csaba and Ella are incredibly dedicated to her progress and development, with her tournament results speaking for themselves.

At this age though the key focus is on development, whatever else happens is a bonus. The main thing is Emma is improving, loving the game and wants to keep going!

Everyone at the club is so incredibly proud of her!”

Well done Emma! From everyone at BLTC!
