The clubs know each other well the Victoria club has been practising recently at Monterey Recreation Centre as the team currently lacks a facility.

“Table tennis is a wonderful way to link people of all ages, ethnicity, nationalities and genders. We are thrilled the friendship games are back,” club representative Owen Toop said.
The tourney was deemed a win for all, with fun, energy and a win for each club, the Victoria team took the men’s title and Monterey the ladies.
