Accra (Greater Accra) -- The long awaited Table Tennis League kicked off at the Accra Sports Stadium last Friday with Fire Service and Rambells "A" club playing the opening matches.

The eight-club league, which should have started in September, was delayed following the Ghana Table Tennis Association (GTTA) efforts to go in conformity with the calendar of the African Table Tennis Federation (ATTF).

The first round of the league is expected to end in February next year, while the second round is spread across the year.

In the opening match, Rambels A Club defeated Fire Service by three straight games after David Mills, Joseph Osei and Christian Aboagye had triumphed over Tweneboa Kodua, Samuel Ashittey and Seth Darko 3-2, 3-2 and 3-2 respectively.

The league continues on Friday, 15 November with attractive and interesting pairings as Rambells B takes on Street Academy, with Ghana Navy facing Tema Table Tennis Club, which is expected to be the toughest match of the day.
