Table Tennis Tournament

On Monday Logan competed in a Table Tennis Tournament at Goonelabah. Unfortunately only 3 other kids could make it, so as usual Bonalbos contribution was small, but mighty!. These kids did a great job in the competition, playing against schools that have their own teams & obviously, Training!!. So because it was based on a point system, our school placed 6th out of 6!!. But the star of the show was Logan. He was unbeatable. The first fella he played was a senior and you could tell he thought it was going to be an easy win over a junior. Boy, was he wrong.....Logan defeated him in 3 straight games. He couldn't believe it, and was a

gracious loser, shaking his hand and saying "You're awesome man". His last opponent was a boy we had all been watching play, and he was amazing. When he came up to play Logan, we knew it was going to be a fantastic match. And it was, all you could hear was the OOhing & AAhing, and the rallies were fantastic. They were both in it to win it. They won two games each, so it came down to a nailbiting finish, with Loges winning the final game. It was great entertainment, and the facilities were amazing, run by an old couple who were great at telling everyone the rules, as it seems everyone has their own version of the game!. So unfortunately he doesn't get to go on in the competition, but it was a great experience and he was on a high for days. I think having our table up in a dusty old shed, with an uneven dirt floor and very little room to swing a bat, may just prove to be a good way to train!.

P.S. This event has rekindled the afternoon happy hour games of table tennis, where basically Greeny, Shane & I take our turns at being thrashed, and with deflated egos we vow to return the next day and see whether or not we just might hold the table for AT LEAST one game!!.....
