Squash For 2009
Squash had an excellent season with the 1st team convincingly beating rivals Framesby, Westering and Woodridge, all very competitive squash schools. We did not disappoint as we traveled to Uitenhage to play against Daniel Pienaar, overcoming them with relative ease.
Mr. de Wet, our coach, worked us to a standstill at practices, which gave us the legs and the lungs necessary to record such wonderful victories. All of our matches were played in true VP spirit, each of us supporting and cheering on one another which inspired us to play to the best of our ability on the court. Our toughest match was, without a doubt, against Collegiate who have always provided sturdy opposition. Sadly we went down–but only in the dying moments of a keenly contested encounter. Our team won 5 of our 7 matches, which is not only a clear indication of the team’s talent but speaks volumes of the commitment and camaraderie that exists within this group of players. On behalf of squash, I would like to say a huge thank you to Mr. de Wet for willingly giving up his afternoons to dispense his coaching wisdom and lift us to our matches.
