Crushers true to their name in Buffalo Coal Squash League

The Buffalo Coal Squash League has finished and players marked the occasion with a braai and lots of fellowship at the Dundee Country Club.
The Squash Club thanks Kevern Mattison and Buffalo Coal for the wonderful sponsorship of this league!

Thanks to Helen van Emmerik for organising prizes and food.

There were 25 players who took part in five teams and it was wonderful to see the lovely support and enthusiasm.
There were three individual players who performed extremely well: Nozipho Mhlotshwa from team 1 (Crushers), Weon du Plooy from team 1 (Crushers) and KP Smith from team 3 (Roof Bolters).
