Yesterday was our monthly Table Tennis Tournament in the student lounge. Everyone was out to win the Stone & Wood Beers.. but there could be only one winner!
We had 4 knock out rounds. Each game was played first to 21.
There was some strong competition, but in the end Nico was our champion, only just beating Fabrice!
Thank you Nico for being a great competitor and a good sport for sharing the beers 🙂

Wednesday afternoon we had our monthly Table Tennis Tournament. It was a lovely sunny afternoon so we only had a small turn out, but it was still tight competition.
First up was Naoki vs Fabrice. It was a close game, with both competitors being equally as strong. In the end, Fabrice was the first to score 21 points and win the match. Next up was Fernanda vs Johnny..
Fernanda was July’s champion and also the runner up in June. She is a fierce competitor and hard one to beat! This month was no exception and she defeated both Johnny and Fabrice to win herself the 6 pack of beer!
Congratulations Fernanda!!
Keep an eye on next months calendar for a chance to compete for a 6 pack of ice cold beer and win the title of Table Tennis Champion for the month!
