Brisbane At The Border Challenge

Brisbane Table Tennis Makes a Good Showing in The Border Challenge

Another very successful Border Challenge was held recently.

The 2019 Border Challenge Brisbane Representative Team

Division.1- Linda Towler, Antony Yu, Blake Davies

Division.2- Mike Edwards, Andrei Poliakov, Phil Wylie

Division.3- Michael Bygraves, Fred Smith, Richard Lee

Close Matches

Here are the results from Armidale.

1st- Armidale 63
2nd- Brisbane 56
3rd- Lismore 44
4th- Toowoomba 35

This team did an amazing effort as we allowed Armidale to have a 2000 rated player because they had not won the Shield before. Lots of close matches were had and we only needed a few to turnaround to be victorious. Mike Edwards and Michael Bygraves won 7 out of 9 singles. Six of our nine players were playing the Border Challenge for the first time.

The 2018 Border Challenge also made the local Win NEWS.
