Youthful Enthusiasm

The Poverty Bay Table Tennis Association's second inter-school tournament saw a large number of young players competing for honours in the Lytton High School assembly hall.

The Boys' High School A team won the event when it defeated Edmund Campion A by one point in the final play-off.

Some of the youthful competitors are caught in a variety of poses and expressions as they do battle with bat and ball.
