English Sandpaper Championships, 2025

Luke Davies-Stokes wins!

STTC player, Luke Davies-Stokes has won the The 2025 English Open Sandpaper Table Tennis Singles Championship. His dad (and our chairman), Richard Stokes also won the doubles event, teaming up with Dave Tiplady, the player Luke beat in the singles final.

Luke, like his older brother, James, has been mentioned many times on our website about having won some tournament or other – and now he can add this one to the list.

We’re used to Luke winning the Bury St. Edmunds league hardbat Championships, when he enters – he didn’t this year, and fellow STTC player Chris Smith won it instead.

In fact, Chris also took part and recorded the final, which you can watch in full below.
