[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Hampyeong-gun announced on the 22nd that it successfully held the '19th Hampyeong Branch President's Senior Gateball Tournament' on the 18th in collaboration with the Hampyeong-gun branch of the Korea Senior Citizens Association.


The tournament was held at three venues including the all-weather field in Hampyeong-eup, with 9 teams from 9 towns and townships participating, totaling over 150 senior citizens who showcased their skills in heated matches.


The seniors took the opportunity to fully demonstrate the skills they had honed over the past years and strengthened harmony and camaraderie during this event, held for the first time in three years due to the impact of COVID-19.


As a result, Eomdam-myeon achieved the remarkable feat of winning the championship for the second consecutive time following the previous tournament, while the teams from Sonbul, Daedong, and Wolya shared the runner-up position.



A county official stated, “We will continue to show interest and provide support so that our seniors can lead healthy and vibrant lives in their later years.”
