Ping Pong Final

On Tuesday 25-10-2011 4th, 5th and 6th class held the Ping Pong Word Cup final between Italy (James O Leary) and Namibia (Dylan Van Daele). Both boys were from 5th class. It was a brilliant match between the two boys. It wasn't a very close match but it was one of the best I've seen. Italy won the match 21-12. The prize was a voucher for Sports World. I think Namibia will be back for the title next year J. Here are a few pictures from the prize giving.
