Welcome to the home of table tennis in South Canterbury. The mission of the association is to encourage, develop and organise the playing of the game of table tennis in the district of South Canterbury and to promote the playing of inter-association matches, individual championships and tournaments.

What's Happening:

The table tennis season has finished. Check the links below for results of all competitions.

Our Friday night social evenings have not been well attended over recent weeks, largely due to another sporting event happening in New Zealand at the moment. Go the All Blacks! As a result it has been decided to finish this part of our season as well.

If anybody would like to hire the stadium to have a few hits during the off season please contact either Gay or Mike (see contact details)

Our fundraising effort to assist a local organisation with the purchase of defibrillators has seen a total of $386 raised and this will be sent to the organisers.

Thank you everyone for your input into the season, whether it was as competition players, committee members or just casual players. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.

The primary and secondary schools teams’ and singles competitions have finished for the season.

Reports here: Primary Schools Report | Secondary Schools report

The Aoraki Secondary Schools team competed very well at the NZ Secondary Schools Champs in Palmerston North. In the C Grade the team of Richard Simpson, Jerry Goh and one other draft player won all of their matches however as they were a composite team they could not take part in the final. Even so that is a great result for Richard and Jerry, very well done guys.

The Division competitions have been completed and the winners were:
First Division: Toucan (Mike Stapp, Chris Stanley)
Second Division: Bee Eater (James Winchester, Wicus Myburg)
Third Division: Swan (Stu Falconer, Jessi Drake)

Full details of the season’s results can be found by clicking the “Division Results” link below.

The Primary Schools competition has finished with the team of Datong Ong, Yong Cherng Su and Hau Ming Su running out comfortable winners. Datong Ong beat Jack McPherson in the final of the Primary Schools boys singles and his sister, Yi Ran Ong, made it a family double winning the girls final by beating Katie Hooper.

The secondary schools teams’ competition has finished. At the start of the competition in March a team from Gleniti Primary School (Jack Deeley, Ben Deeley and Louis Low) was included among the 24 teams to provide stronger competition for them. They had easily won the primary school competition the two previous years and this season they wanted to see how they fared against the older teams. Early on it became apparent the team would be a force to be reckoned with and so it proved as they easily made the playoffs, eased through the playoffs with comfortable wins over all of the other teams and then cemented their position as the best team by winning the final 7-2 over Roncalli 1 of Jessi Drake, Hayden Blackler and Patrick O’Neill.

Two other Roncalli teams played off for third and this was easily won by Tim Heke, Lee Cooper and James Spence over Non Pluemworasawat, Tim Wu and Nathan Kerridge 7-2. Other teams to make the playoffs were Boys High 5 (Edward Armstrong, Tom McCann, Danny Ko), Roncalli 4 (Bas Jenpichitkulchai, Fee Chokchainant, Koko Chaymaytakul) and Roncalli 5 (Luke Elsen, Francis Blackstock, Tom Anderson).

The school singles competition, breakup and prize giving will be held next week 15 August.
