Although squash is not (yet!) an official school sport, HF Verwoerd Primary School in Parys is proud of their junior squash players, who have achieved the following in the last year:
Girls u/11
- Danja van Ryhn – Northern Free State colours
- Reese Thompson – Northern Free State and Free State colours
- Elske Gabers – Northern Free State and Free State colours
Reese and Elske also represented the Free State at the IPT’s where their team won all their matches. Reese and Elske are both still u/9 and it is therefore a great achievement to have made the Free State team for girls u/11.
