A mother and daughter are among a team of nine from Mackay competing in the Australian Veterans Table Tennis Championships in Darwin this week.
Delma Knight and her mother Coral Morgan are competing for Queensland after gaining selection for the titles at the State Veterans Championships in Mackay recently.
Delma is competing in the over 50 women’s teams and Coral in over 75s.
Also competing from Mackay are Emma Widdup, Andrea Nicholson, Anne Sheridan, Donna Abbott, Janice Kent, Peter Goodson and Noreen Fredericksen.
The championships hit off on October 8 in Darwin with teams matches and will run until October 15, with nearly 350 players from all eight states and territories and New Zealand competing.
It is the first National Veterans Championships since 2019 after COVID-19 forced its cancellation in 2020 and 2021.
Players will compete in events ranging from over 30s through to over 85s, which is being played for the first time.
