Segun Toriola has expressed his disappointment over Nigeria’s Table Tennis team failure to clinch a spot in the Championship division at the Liebherr 2018 World Team Table Tennis Championships in Sweden.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Nigerian table tennis team crashed out after losing 3-0 to Slovakia in the tournament’s quarter-finals at Halmstad on Friday.

It was the second defeat suffered by Nigeria in the hands of the Slovaks in the competition.

“We did our best but apparently the Slovaks were good.

“The experience will make us better next time and in other competitions we will aim to do better,” Toriola wrote on his Twitter handle on Saturday.
