Maharashtra Masters Table Tennis Committee ( MMTTC) have announced their 3rd ranking Masters’ Table Tennis Tournament at Prabodhankar Thackeray Kreeda Sankul (PTKS), Vile Parle on 7th and 8th October 2023. This tournament will be played in memory of two legends of Table Tennis, namely late Shri. Govind Palwankar National Level TT player and Shri Narayan Salian former National Veterans’ Champion . While Govind Palwankar who represented Richardson & Cruddas, had won many local tournament titles, he also performed well at the State and National level, during 70s and early 80s, Mr. Narayan Salian won 8 Gold, 6 Silver and 8 Bronze medals at the National Masters TT Championships.

This is our third Masters’ TT tournament, after conducting two memorial Masters’ TT tournaments successfully during the past 2-3 months, in memory of TT legends Late Shir. Vilas Mantri, Jagannath Mohite and K.K. Rai with around 500 players taking part in both these events. We have offered good Prize Money, medals and Trophies to the winners allowing the participants to play Group league matches in every event. In most of the events, we have also given cash prizes to the Quarter finalists in individual and team events. Tea, Breakfast and luch was offered free to all the participants and the players are happy with this treatment. In the last tournament we distributed free T shirts to all the participants and this time too, we will be giving free T shirts to all the participants, besides offering tea, breakfast and also lunch on Sunday 8th October. Our Committee comprising of all well known Veteran players are committed to work for the benefit of players with full transparency and offering them the best treatment with due respect.
