September 2024 – Table Tennis Update
Friday 30 Aug, 2024
Well, we are now into September and with it comes with warmer weather. Great for playing table tennis.
On the 28th of July, the Canterbury Clubs Veterans and Masters Tournament was held at the Hornby Club.
Hornby Veteran Winners were:
- A Grade Singles: Gregg Davey
- A Grade Doubles: Gregg Davey and Dave Samson
- B Grade Singles: Anne Hay
- B Grade Doubles: Anne Hay and Russell Holden
- C Grade Doubles: Alison Cook and Noel Ward
Hornby Masters Winners were:

On the 6th of August we played Richmond Club for the Cockburn Cup, an annual event which was won by Hornby last year. This year we won it again by the closest of margins, 42 to 41 games. Well done to all members who played on the night.
Lastly, our big event this month is the South Island Clubs Table Tennis Tournament. This will be held in Gore on the 20th and 21st, with the section entering four teams (A, A Res, B and C Grades). Good luck to those who have entered.
