Revival of the Duel : Kentron v Uitsig

After many years in the wilderness Kentron took it upon themselves to revive the annual duel between two rival clubs that truly epitomizes the great game of squash.

This fiercely contested event draws players of similar strength against each other; adding up games won to decide the eventual winner.

Saturday 11 October was D-day as 32 players converged at Kentron Squash Club for a Battle Day to be remembered for many.  Players ranging from 2nd to 14th league were pitted against each other over 16 matches with plenty at stake.

It was memorable to see 2nd league players cheering on 14th league (an experience not known in normal circles) and was a fantastic advertisement of team spirit from both clubs.

6 hours of blood, sweat and cheers and the end result was victory to Uitsig … notwithstanding the warning of sweet revenge in 2015 by Kentron.

Rounded off with the traditional braai and ice cold frosties’ the Duel is here to stay and well done Kentron on this wonderful initiative.
