Ashley Facey-Thompson

Ashley best describes himself as, 
Cheeky, funny and also happy as, 
He’s a student at South Bank Uni, 
Of sports coaching in London city. 

He is a very keen table tennis player, 
Started playing in primary, 7th year, 
And just missed out on London 2012,
But was at Rio 2016 with his helve.  

2013 and Ashley won many bronzes:
Italy, Hungary and had Czech ounces;
So in 2014 Ashley won UK nationally, 
In class 8-9 singles, phenomenally. 

Then breakthrough: Slovenian Open. 
In the team event, you’re no token, 
And at the Cote d’Azur International, 
Ashley won 2 bronzes medals brutal.

In 2015 he won in the team events, 
Had Italian, HU, CZ and DE tents,
And in Denmark reached the quarters, 
At the European Champs, garters.  

In Copa, Costa Rica, in the singles,
He took silver in swift class 9 jingles, 
And in Rio made the quarters, team, 
With K Daybell. He’s Erbs palsy lean.
