Smiling Faces Print a Thousand Words, Ronald Yu Reserves a Place in Newport Beach Table Tennis History

Newport Beach Table Tennis Champion

Ronald Yu and Ivan Dueñas – The Newport Beach Table Tennis Finalists

Sports brings people together and create harmony. That is the clear message being received from the Equal Challenge Tournament.

Smiling faces very much reflect the significance of the event, as players from different cities and ethnic background competed for two purposes: to play table tennis and to be the next Equal Challenge Champion!

15-year-old Ronald Yu added another title to his collection on the night of Friday October 26, 2012.

It was just two weeks earlier that Yu got second place in Newport Beach Table Tennis Club’s tournament on October 12. What a difference a couple weeks can make! Ronald Yu got the 1st place at the Equal Challenge Tournament and he is our new Champion!

Congratulations Ronald and keep practicing. You are doing a great job!

Outstanding Performance

Ivan Dueñas took the second place, after beating Ronald Yu 3-1, but John Margaritis swooped in to win the tournament! Both gave memorable performance.

John Margaritis won in 5 games (11-8, 9-11, 14-12, 8-11, 12-10)

After the match, Dueñas left a clear message for Margaritis, “Next time I’ll be more aggressive to win! Lucky John!!!”
