It was a great day of table tennis, capped off by a networking function at the end, giving a chance for the businesses to network and reminisce on the days play.
“It was fantastic to have MSAC packed, with all tables in use, seeing corporates battling it out and enjoying some friendly competition,” said TTV CEO Gen Dohrmann.
“To have 16 teams, a goal we thought we wouldn’t reach be hit this year was incredible. Its great to see corporate companies seeing the social benefits it has for their employees, to get them out of the office having a hit of table tennis.”
