The Queensland Veterans championship was hosted by Mackay and Queensland Table Tennis at the Bridge Rd Centre over four days, attracting players from throughout the state.
Mackay’s Emma Widdup won gold in over 30 singles, in which training partner Anne-Louise Stewart was runner-up. Emma also took gold in over 40 women’s, in which Mackay’s Anne Sheridan won bronze.
Mackay players also were among the medals in the older age groups, Pam Joyce and Coral Morgan both winning four gold medals.
