New Zealand Institute of Sports Table Tennis Tournament (30 May 2013)

This was part of a 3 day annual multi sports tournament held between the Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch campuses of NZIS. The table tennis was held at the ASB Sports Centre in Kilbirnie. Singles (Men’s and Women’s) and Mixed Doubles were held. Matches were the best of 3 games. There was only one representative from each campus for each event. Christchurch won all the events, and were first overall, with Wellington second and Auckland third. This was a complete reversal from last year when Auckland were first and Christchurch third. Thanks to Malcolm Wong and Martin Young for umpiring at this event.

The results were:

Men’s Singles
1st Spencer Sandridge (Christchurch)
2nd Daniel Dexter (Wellington)
3rd Benton Flavell (Auckland)

Women’s Singles
1st Rebekah McConnell (Christchurch)
2nd Wendy-Ann Preston (Auckland)
3rd Courtney Ann Lockwood (Wellington)

Mixed Doubles
