On the 15/11/16 the CSNS Table Tennis team went to the Barber Hall on Waldegrave Street to play in Manawatu Primary Schools Table Tennis Tournament. We got there at 8:30am and started to practice against each other as a warm up.
Our first game was against Aokautere school. We all played 2 games each and umpired 2 games. We were all having so much fun. We won 10-6. Then we played Longburn Primary and Riverdale. We won both of these fixtures as well. All of us were stoked as we hadn’t played proper table tennis before.
After lunch we had a skill challenge. In pairs we started the longest rally competition, CSNS were so far away from winning this it was ridiculous. The longest rally was 457 shots, Mr R had to count them (we didn’t know he could count that high)!. The next one was who can bounce the ball the longest on their paddle the longest. 3 CSNS kids got in the top 5.
We had 2 games left against Tiritea and Manchester Street. We drew with Manchester Street and lost to Tiritea. They were very close games.
The final scores were announced and CSNS came 3rd in the Boys, 3rd in the Girls and 3rd overall. We all got bronze medals! I also won a voucher for showing promise during my games!!
The day was a great day and everyone had fun and learnt about table tennis. The GRi11 2.0 kids Gihara, Joonoh, Zara, Yutong and myself hope we can play table tennis again in the future!
