Jukskei gold for Annetjie
The men's over 50 A1 team were runners-up in the plate section.
The annual SA Jukskei Championships took place in Kroonstad in the Free State last month, where two players from the South Coast took part, namely Annetjie van der Merwe and AnneMarie Kapp.
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s tournament saw a unique twist, where teams from different provinces and districts could include players from other districts to make up teams.
The KZN team had to borrow a few players from other districts and performed quite well in all the divisions.
KZN Ladies A1 team, captained by Annetjie van der Merwe from Hibiscus Club, won gold medals in the doubles and bronze medals in the Team Division.
KZN Ladies A2 team, for which Hibiscus Club’s . AnneMarie Kapp played, won bronze medals in both the doubles and team divisions.
The men’s over 50 A1 team were runners-up in the plate section.
Due to the Covid regulations, there were no visitors and masks had to be worn between and after matches.
“The KZN team was treated with Ivermectin before and after the tournament, so we felt a little safer,” said Annetjie.
