Kevin Zammit made quite a comeback in table tennis competitions after being absent for a number of years from events organised by the Malta Employees Sports Association (MESA). On the 16th November, Kevin represented GO Plc in the Singles Table Tennis Tournament which was held at the MITTC in Ħal Tarxien, beating Martin Zammit from Planning Authority in the final. Kevin managed to secure a 3-0 win, but all three sets were very balanced. He won 12-10, 12-10 and 11-7.
A total of eight players competed in the tournament. Although the turnout was not what expected, the level of competition was high, with players like Dennis Borg (BOV) and Roger Mifsud (Malta Police) delivering great performances. Kevin went through the tournament without losing a single game!
