The Jan Meng Memorial Doubles Tournament

The Jan Meng Memorial Doubles tournament brought out some great play at the Mackay Table Tennis Centre on Tuesday morning.

The competition was fierce for the trophy, named in honour of the late Jan Meng, who was an  organiser of the Tuesday morning fixtures for many years.

Tony Bowman and Frank Caruana narrowly defeated Marie Taylor and Bryan Marshall in a hard-fought final.

Players in all divisions competed in groups before the competition moved to the knockout stage, with some great matches witnessed.

Many thanks to fixture organiser Steve Mathieson, helped by a group of supporters, for a well-run tournament.
