7 primary schools, 60 participants, and 5 hours of intense ping pong battling! That's what the 5th annual Dutch Lady Primary School OPEN was all about. The table tennis tournament was held at the Belize Elementary School compound this morning.
At the end of it late this afternoon, the two remaining players battled it out for the first prize. It was intense and emotions flared, but at the end only one could be named the champ- and it went to 10 year old Taye Parkinson of St. Joseph Primary. We spoke to the President of the Belize Table Tennis Association who has been trying to promote the game for 7 years.
While the tournament was won by a St. Joseph primary student, the overall champion, based on points, was Belize Elementary School. The 12 top athletes were awarded for their performance and some of those winners will be competing at the upcoming CODICADER regional tournament later this year.
