TABLE TENNIS
By KATRINA BRANDON
TABLE Tennis Victoria’s top 10 rankings for 2024 are out, and Traralgon Table Tennis player Stephen (Steve) Warr has taken one of the top spots in his age group.
In the Over 30s Men’s Singles, Warr is number nine, beating out Coburg and Sunshine and District Table Tennis Association’s Mark D Glynn.
While hitting it up in the big leagues, Warr visits the Traralgon Table Tennis Association to play in the senior pennant continuing to challenge Section 1.
According to the Table Tennis Victoria website, an athlete cannot be ranked unless they satisfy the eligibility requirements for selection in the state team (or where such requirements have been waived by the board of Table Tennis Victoria) for the relevant playing category.
While currently there are no other local table tennis players on the 2024 list, local players are continuing to improve.
Examples of local strength and determination will be shown later in the year at the Victorian Table Tennis Championships (on April 5 and 6) and the Victorian Country Table Tennis Championships (during the King’s Birthday weekend) held at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium.
