Squash Report

The Squash teams enjoyed a normal season this year after a lack of inter school activities last year. We started the year with many boys showing a keen interest in joining squash, but due to the limited number of players that we could accommodate, we unfortunately had to choose those who would potentially play in our team squads.

Trials ran over two weeks, from which we chose a team squad with some boys who were chosen for development. The boys attended practices regularly during all the terms and we saw improvements on a weekly basis. Their enthusiasm and good spirit at each practice made the pre-season training and regular season very enjoyable.

This year we entered two teams in the Western Province Youth Leagues, which ran through Term 2 and 3. Our regular team squad members were: Harbin Smith, Daniel Wolmarans, Luniko Soci, Connor Ebden, Justin Igilige, Akhil Vaghese, Thomas Wyllie, Joshua Eccles, Connor van Heerden and Tayo Adriaan.

While Grey proved challenging at the start of the season, our teams concluded the season remaining undefeated in all their matches. Other highlights across the year were: two WP representatives in U13, many boys participating in the WPYS tournaments and a consistent, energetic group of boys who were at every practice.

A big thank you to our coach, Mr Lionel White, for his experience and guidance throughout the year. A thank you to Mr Mfaba and Miss Hendrickse for joining us on the courts for sessions in the development of the boys. Thank you to all the parents for your support and encouragement of the boys throughout the year. They could not have done it without you!
