Tracey and Keegan ace Vryheid’s Tennis Championship

Vryheid Tennis Championships: On October 15, the annual Vryheid Tennis Championship was played at the Lawn Tennis Club. Eleven boys and eleven girls from Lucas Meyer and Michaelis participated in the tournament. The players were grouped according to their abilities so that the stronger players faced one another. As the day progressed, the standard of the game improved and, towards the end of the day, the players were playing a competitive and enjoyable game. This year the winners are Tracey Steffensen and Keegan Gevers from Michaelis. Thank you to all the players who participated and thank you to our parents and coaches who encourage the players to play. Well done players and keep on practicing so that you are ready for next year!
