A Darlington schoolgirl has been selected for England's table tennis youth squad.
Claire Wilson, 15, whose father Keith is a coach for Darlington Table Tennis Club, will represent England in the under-18s squad.
Mr Wilson said: "She has done really well to be picked for the older team because there is an under-16s squad as well. I am very proud of her."
Claire (pictured above) will represent England against Scotland, Wales and Ireland at the UK championships in Cardiff.
