Gold Beach Ping Pong championship
I figured Robby would win the whole tournament, but three adults won the top three spots. Robby came in fourth and his brother, Sam, fifth. But the battle that held the audience’s attention, which consisted of their mom, me, older sister and older brother, plus a few spectators, was Robby against Sam — brother against brother!
It was a sensational match! I didn’t know Sam was that good! He battled Robby down to the wire, but in the end Robby’s aggressive style put Sam on the defensive and, ultimately, sent him down to defeat. They came in fourth and fifth in the Gold Beach Ping Pong Championship at our local library. Here are a few shots:

The correct term, Mr. Duffy, is table tennis and NOT “ping-pong”!!
Perhaps the powers that be can be encouraged to change the title to The Gold Beach Table Tennis Championship for next year.
The “paddles” are correctly called bats and a game ends when the first person reaches 11 points (not 21) with a 2 point span ahead.
But those things you probably already knew.
My man played in a club containing quite a few players who were/are on the Olympic table tennis team… and one of the members was/is the coach of the USA team.
