Amila är klar för Div 2 spel!

Amila Thilakarathna - nyförvärv till Div2-laget

Säsongen slutade i dur för Bjärreds A-lag, efter att div 2-kontraktet säkrades i en rafflande heldag/kväll i Löddesnäshallen. Nu är det vila och träning ett antal månader innan säsongen börjar på nytt i september.

Vi kan gladeligen presentera ett nyförvärv till Bjärreds BTK i Amila Thilakarathna från England. Vi passade på att ställa några frågor till honom hur det känns inför seriestarten i den nya klubben :)

You recently signed for Bjärreds BTK, what made you take that step?
When Fredrik approached me regarding the league I thought that would a really good opportunity for me be a part of Bjärreds BTK,
Also I know Fredrik since 2010 as a very good friend so those are the two things that made me to say yes. 

What is your background in table tennis and which club do you play for in England?

I was an Ex Srilankan junior and national squad player. I have played in the Polish, Slovakian and England leagues.

Currently working as Table tennis talent and pathways Head Coach at Greenhouse sports.

Has the sport meant something special to you?

Table tennis gave me the life, without table tennis I wouldn’t be a happy person like I’m now. Sports take me around the world meet different people, culture and food. 

Sports teach us how to control the emotions and respect and be patient. 

What are your expectations for the upcoming season that starts in September?
I’m very much looking forward to it and Love to see my team mates. 

Finally - What do you want most right now?
I am just glad that I can be part of the Bjärreds BTK

Vi hälsar Amila varmt välkomna till Bjärreds BTK och önskar honom och laget lycka till!
