19 Gold medals and 9 Silver for HiTT Academy out of 25 table tennis events

Remember last year we bragged about winning 14 titles in the 2017 edition of the Malta Junior National Championships of Table Tennis? Well, this year we’ve topped that by quite a lil bit more.

They’ve worked hard, and by all the table tennis rubbers out there, they’ve earned every single title they grabbed.
