Titan Table Tennis hosted the second of their monthly tournament recently, with a huge turnout in supporters and players.

The series, billed as the Titan Super Series, has the aim of allowing the region’s best players to play against each other, and against others from other parts of the country in a competitiv­e tournament environmen­t.

“They were fortunate to have welcomed the JUSTT team comprising Luke Abrahams (current SA number 1), Terence Mathole (former national player) and Tevia Sapire (former national player) to the tournament to play against Titans coach, Kurt Lingeveldt (former national player) and other top players from Pietermari­tzburg and Durban.

“This led to an absolute feast for table tennis enthusiast­s who got to witness matches of the highest quality,” read the statement.

The matches were streamed live on their Youtube channel so that those who couldn’t attend physically would not miss out on the action.

There was also a junior tournament on the same evening, where junior players got to play against each other for the title of junior super series champion.

The winner of the Elite tournament was Luke Abrahams, and the winner of the junior tournament was Tayden Royappen.

The JUSTT team who hail from Johannesbu­rg also hosted a coaching clinic at Titans.

“The turnout was fantastic, and it led to a wonderful day of learning and playing. Both children and adults alike attended the clinic, and the feedback received from the participan­ts were unanimousl­y positive. The Titans and JUSTT team (www.justt.co.za) would like to thank all those who supported the coaching clinic and look forward to hosting more events like this in future,” read the statement.
