Northerns Closed tournament results (Seniors)
A small but passionate crowd was entertained with squash of a high standard on the final evening of the NSA Closed tournament. [4] Gary Naidoo proved that he is in unstoppable form to beat [2] Kyle Maree 3-1 in the men’s A section. [3] Andrew Martin upset [1] Ruan Olivier to take third place after a humdinger of a 5-setter where he fought back from 0-2 down.
In some other notable results young Damian Groenewald beat Nell van der Merwe 3-1 for 5th place and Blaine Verhage took 7th place after overcoming Jason Phillips 3-2 in another closely fought match.
Helena Coetzee was in sublime form to win the ladies final 3-0 over Kim McDonald. Third place went to Amy Farrell.
The men’s B section final was cancelled due to Sven Claassen picking up an ankle injury in his semi final match, so Pieter Albertyn won by default. In the 3/4 playoff Wayne Muller was responsible for Barry Coetzee’s second successive loss by the same margin of 9-11 in the 5th set. Innes de Vries was 5th after beating Brandon Thomas 3-2.
