Some of Europe’s leading table tennis players will exchange the heat and humidity of India for the Manx autumn this weekend.

Fresh from their Commonwealth Games exploits, they will be travelling to the Island to play in the Six Nations International Championship, at the National Sports Centre in Douglas.

Teams from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Guernsey and the Isle of Man will compete.

Chairman of the Isle of Man Table Tennis Association David Stevenson is delighted the Manx are hosting one of the most prestigious tournaments in the United Kingdom's table tennis calendar:
