Australian Senior Open Table Tennis Championships
20-27 June 2010.
TTNZ congratulates the following players on their selection to represent NZ at the
upcoming Australian Senior Championships.
Women: Michelle McCarthy, Sarah Her-Lee, Jessica MacAskill, Armindeep Singh
Men: John Cordue, Matt Liu, Derek Li, Myles Collins, Aaron Page
Manager/Coach: Jianni Jiang
The Australian Senior Championships is a Commonwealth Games Qualification Event and the
original policy was to select full strength teams for this event. Due to the
unavailability of many Commonwealth Games "long-list" players we have been
forced to adjust this policy giving us the opportunity to accommodate our immediate
(Commonwealth Games qualification) and longer-term player development objectives. |
