2014 Charity Table Tennis Tournament

We had a fun day with the New Horizon charity tournament yesterday. Although we were not able to advance to the second round of the tournament, we tried out a variety of combination of double partnership for our future tournaments.

Team A lost to Ying Wah Boys B and DBS A team and beat Raimondi school in the preliminary round.

Thanks to Andrew who came to support us and took pictures for the event.

We not only shared the good time among our alumni, we also shared the fun with alumni of other schools. We even shared the bragging right for the tournament with them this year — the championship title. We will return next year to claim it back, right?

For Team B, we lost to YWC Team A (0-3) and CCS (0-3) and beat DBS Team B (3-0) in Pool #2 but Tim, George, Johnson & Wilfred had a lot of fun today.
