Canaan Table Tennis Club of Calabar, Nigeria’s representative at the just concluded 2024 African Club Table Tennis Championship in Benghazi, Libya, has wrapped up its participation in the continental tourney, having emerged second runners up in the star-studded competition.
After receiving their medals, the team is now set to depart the north African country for Nigeria.
Chairman of Canaan Table Tennis Club, Rt. Hon. Orok Duke who led the team to Libya, in a brief tribute said:
“As our dalliance comes to an end:
We turn the bend
And the sun stings my eyes,
We turn and say our goodbyes,
Here in Benghazi,
As Cairo beckons.
African Table Tennis,
Nigerian Table Tennis,
Canaan Queens of Calabar;
With their silver medals in tow,
We greet you all.
Thank you, Benghazi.”
