The Belize Table Tennis Association got an infusion of new, young blood with 59 young players of the St. John’s College Table Tennis Club who held their inaugural tournament at the Belize Elementary Auditorium last Saturday afternoon.

Students ranging from ages 12 to about 15, their supporting family and classmates filled the auditorium to cheer on their favorite players. Club coordinator Yasser Musa got them all signed up and ready to compete in this “first of a kind” event.

Players competed in an initial round robin competition in 3 categories: Advanced, Intermediate and Beginners with over 97 matches. The winners then advanced to the double elimination final round in each category, which featured another 43 matches so play continued late into the evening.

Yasser Musa won the Advanced Category with John Le – 2nd, Aaron Stock -3rd and Khalid Musa – 4th.

Jason Chan won the Intermediate category with Mishek Musa – 2nd, Gavin Wong 3rd and Harold Nava – 4th.

Joshua Parham won the Beginners’ category with Nick Chang – 2nd, Falen Miles – 3rd and Fabio Carballo – 4th. All winners were awarded medals.
