N.I. wins table tennis contests
The South Island was hammered by the North in the annual inter-island table tennis match at the New Zealand championships in Palmerston North this week, but gained some satisfaction from the women’s contest. The North Island team of Alan Pedley, Graeme Lassen, James Morris and Peter Jackson, was far too strong for the South, winning 12-0. The southern quartet of Lyndon White,
John Richards, Ron Foster and Grant McCarroll managed just one set in the entire match. McCarroll and Richards won the second set off Lassen and Pedley, 21-18, before going down, 14-21, in the third.
The North Island just scraped in, 6-5, in the women’s contest, yet the South — comprising Jan Morris, Kadia Rice, Sandra Mayes and Jenny Lawn — won the games count, 15-12.
