Indigenous Table Tennis Team a Smash at NL winter Games

Youth from Nain travelled to the NL games here in Deer Lake last week.

Edward Flowers volunteered to coach the team, and was one of the chaperones.

He says that it was an exciting few days of table tennis competition for our kids from Nain.

They played awesome, and were the talk of the tournament.

They are all very proud of their results: two Gold medals in Singles, and Silver in Boys Team competition.

Madison Dicker won gold in the girl’s competition, and Tyson Dicker took home the gold in the boy’s competition.

Samira Kohlmeister placed 4th, Stephen Dennisten placed 5th, Caleb Dyson placed 5th, and Billy Fox placed 8th.

They are anxious to come home today, weather permitting of course.

Flowers added that it would be nice to see some people come down to the airstrip and congratulate our table tennis team.

He thinks the kids deserve a big crowd, and congratulate them on a job well done.
