Represented Ireland on 151 occasions ! Our Tommy Caffrey. Tommy Caffrey is a quiet, unassuming individual, who has, without doubt, brought fame and glory to the town of Balbriggan, with a long and distinguished career in Table Tennis. He has played the game he loves so well, from humble beginnings in a small shed in Stamullen, to the old Hall behind St George’s Church, and on to venues all across the world, which most of us would only ever dream of seeing. Tommy is, of course, very well known, also, for his jewellery business in the town. He, along with his family, friends and many others, gathered in the Bracken Court Hotel to hear Pauline O’Hare, of the Balbriggan and District Historical Society, deliver an excellent commentary and tribute. People from the Table Tennis world travelled from all parts of the country to hear the story of his life and anecdotal stories which highlighted how worthy Tommy is of our complete and utter admiration. No surprise again that he continues to train, practise, play and win, in the Veteran class now, as well as adding his voice in support of the recent development to get the game back to its former glory here in Balbriggan. Brian Howley and Jack Benton were there for Balbriggan.net and here are some of their photos:
