TEAM MANITOBA RESULTS
SASKATCHEWAN OPEN & MID-WEST TOP 12 TRIALS
OCTOBER 21-22,2006
By Lucy Liu
This year’s Saskatchewan Open was better than ever! So many young table tennis players from Manitoba participated. Even though the trip was long, but we had lots of fun on our way.
The first day of the competition we went to the gym really early. The gym was still empty when we arrived. Soon it was filled with participants. The first event were the Mid-West Top 12 qualifications. For us girls it was a big round robin where everyone played each other, but for the boys it was separated into 2 groups since there were more people. After this event there were singles under 11, 13, 15, and 18 girls and boys, as well as doubles and rated events.
Over all I think Manitoba did ok. It wasn’t extremely good but not super bad. We enjoy our wins and learned from our losses. This tournament was a very good experience to gain, and a great source to get improvement. Hopefully the experience will serve us well as we head to Whitehorse, Yukon for the Canada Winter Games.
Here are the complete results- I have underlined our great
results.
