[Tex/LaTex] How to change font size of all text in a table

fontsizetables

Hi I am trying the following code but only the first row (the headings) is being changed to the specified font size. How can I make the whole table's font size change?

\begin{table}[!htbp]
\fontsize{11}{9}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{p{2cm} | p{2cm} | p{2cm}}
\hline
\hline
\Result 1 & Result 2 & Result 3 \\ [0.2ex] 
\hline
22 & 34 & 12\\ 
\hline
65 & 43 & 55\\ 
\hline
42 & 76 & 23\\ [1ex] 
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

Font size settings such as \fontsize{11}{9} do not take effect until \selectfont is issued so that should be

\fontsize{11}{9}\selectfont

But that selects an 11pt font on a 9pt baseline so the text will not fit in the allocated space and you will get irregular spaced lines. Perhaps you intended

\fontsize{9}{11}\selectfont

Or better
