๐ Table Tennis is Timeless ๐
At the North Island Team Championships, four players competing in the Men's O75 Doubles bring together an incredible 319 years of life experience.
Larry McCallion and Bob Inns have shared a doubles partnership for more than 40 years. Larry praises Bob's reliable backhand, while Bob admires Larry's trademark combination of chop defence and forehand attack. Their partnership is built on decades of friendship, trust, and a shared love of the game.
Meanwhile, Michael Yang and Rong Huang Li are teaming up for their first tournament as a doubles pair. Although new to competition together, they regularly train together in Auckland and are looking forward to putting their teamwork to the test.
From a 40-year partnership to a brand-new pairing, these players show that table tennis isn't just a sport, it's a lifelong passion.
๐ 319 years. 4 players. Countless memories. One great game.
