A Ping Pong Podcast

13 June 2006 · News

It took a 95 year old Grandma to ‘ping’ Nova 969’s Merrick & Rosso back to the top of the iTunes Top 10 chart.

Last Friday, 32 year old Merrick Watts bravely (read: stupidly) took on current World Veteran Table Tennis Champion, 95 year old Dorothy De Low on her home turf, the Kogarah RSL.

Whilst hundreds turned up on the morning to watch what was affectionately dubbed the ‘Ping Pong Showdown Of The Year’, those who missed the event were invited to download the audio and video coverage of the event across the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

You can sneak a look at the Merrick vs Dorothy Video Podcast at the weblink below.

You’ll see how 95 year old Dorothy ‘The Dot’ De Low smashed Merrick ‘Tiger’ Watts in front of hundreds of supporters, winning in straight sets: Game 1: 12 / 10 and Game 2: 11 / 6.
