The organisers of the Government College Ibadan Old Boys Association 86/92 set Closed Table Tennis Championship have announced a new date for the tournament after the government announcement of midterm break for the students of the school during the initial date of October 30 and 31.
The championship tagged The Ultimate House Showdown will now take place on November 6 and 7 with all the houses in the college, Carr, Field, Powell, Swanston and Grier all playing for honour and prize money over the two days.
Explaining the reasons for the change in date, Charles Olayinka, one of the organisers, said with all the students were expected to go home and spend time with their parents for the midterm holiday, there is a need to move the championships by one week.
“After getting information about the midterm break, we agreed to move it a week further,” he said.
“However, I can assure everyone that the glamour will definitely be the same as all the players are going to have fun.
“Planning is ongoing, in full force and proceeding well and we all can’t wait for the day to come.”
