\u201cDiscount vouchers are also given to the winners of the first series of the national table tennis league who wish to continue their study at Udinus. We will always appreciate young talented athletes at national and international level,\u201d said Dr. Kusni<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frengki Setyo Prabowo as the representative of the league committee, explained that the national table tennis is in its second season.
