Table tennis: Uphill struggle for Drumchapel

Drumchapel face an almighty scrap today to remain in table tennis' Champions League after going down 3-1 to Italians CUS Torino yesterday.

Terry McLernon's British champions from the Glasgow housing scheme shocked the sport in the last round by qualifying for the later stages in Spain. They were then matched in Group 2 alongside Polish, Italian and Luxembourg champions and were always facing an uphill fight against some of the world's best.

However, boss McLernon believes they can still qualify. "Everyone at this level is fantastic but we pulled things round on the Sunday the last time and can do it again."
