Eastern Open Recap
As we all know a table tennis tournament is measured by more than medals. It shows up in the early arrivals, the close matchups, the athletes who stay to watch the finals, and the volunteers who keep the day moving when the schedule gets tight.
All of this was on full display at the Eastern Open in Clarenville on October 17th and a big shout out is extended to Paul and Sandy Stewart for hosting this years edition of the Eastern Open. A job well done!!!
