Hermanus Squash on the up and up

Writer: Jonathan Just.

The past two weekends have been full of action for Hermanus Squash, competing away in the Paarl Spring Festival and hosting the inaugural Hermanus Classic Doubles Tournament. Both events were a roaring success.

Paarl Spring Festival The 27th Paarl Spring Festival saw Hermanus field two teams of five players in the A section where they went up against strong contingents of junior and senior players from Cape Town and Boland.

Returning as 2018’s defending champions, team Boast Traumatic Stress knew there would be stiffer competition this year. It certainly turned out to be the case, right from their first fixture, battling it out against Hermanus counterparts, team Double Bounce.

The two juniors, Rigardt van Wyk at 3 and Eduan Naude at 4 (both unbeaten throughout the festival), got Double Bounce off to a dream start, winning both their matches comfortably. With the pressure on Boast Traumatic Stress, it was the death touch of Wilhelm Combrink at 5, the power of Gareth Schoonrad at 2, and the experience of Jonathan Just at 1 which was enough to get them across the line.
