2024 Geelong Open Review

Published Tue 13 Feb 2024

The 2024 Geelong Open took place from February 10th – 11th and was a great event for all who took part, with some incredibly high-quality table tennis being played. 

It was great to see a record turnout for the first State Tournament Circuit competition for the year. 

“It has been a terrific 2 days of competition with over 200 Veterans and Senior players on the Saturday and 140 Juniors and over 100 parents here on the Sunday” stated Geelong Table Tennis Association Secretary Phil Carruthers. 

“The standard of play has been very high with great spirits throughout the weekend despite the hot weather!” 

“We would like to thank everyone who helped make this weekend happen, in particular our sponsor Affordable Table Tennis for their great performance and contribution to the sport.”
