With months of preparation, the first Inter-School Table Tennis Tournament was held on Aug 10 in Markham. 12 teams from 9 Hong Kong high school alumni associations (see the list here) had entered the whole-day competition. After a number of hard-fought matches in several rounds, our Team A (from left to right in the picture: Mike Yam (74), Michael Luk (76), David Ho (70), Allan Lee (70)) captured the CHAMPIONSHIP of the tournament. Excellent Effort and Congratulations!
The tournament was followed by a socializing dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Thank you to those who came to support our teams. Click here to see the pictures taken during the event.
