Commonwealth Games call up for West Lothian table tennis player

Commonwealth Games Scotland announced today that Livingston professional table tennis player, Colin Dalgeish, has secured his place at this summer’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Colin is currently Scotland’s second ranked table tennis player after a strong performance at the recent Scottish Championships.

This year’s Commonwealth Games will be Colin’s second - making his Commonwealth debut in Australia in 2018 - competing in the men’s singles and the men’s team event - helping his team secure a 9th place finish.

Colin secured his first Scottish national title in 2020 and represented Great Britain at the World University Games in Taipai in 2017 and in Naples in 2019.

Colin said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be representing Scotland at my second Commonwealth Games.

“Over the next few months I’ll be working even harder to be in the best shape possible for Birmingham.

“I can’t wait for the Games to begin and be part of Team Scotland again!”

Colin will be joined in Team Scotland by Lucy Elliot, Rebecca Plaistow, and Gavin Rumgay

The Table Tennis events will take place at the NEC Arena in Birmingham between July 29 and August 8 2022, with two sessions a day.
