St Stithians Prep Sports Festival

The Junior School squash team competed in the St Stithians Prep Sports Festival. The team consisted of Amy Shannon, Kaylee Verster, Narissa Naidoo and Kgalalelo Pitje. Seeing as the tournament is a festival and results do not count, the girls competed against both boys and girls.

Amy Shannon, who is currently ranked 1st in U13 in Johannesburg won all her matches and only dropped two games to Graeme College. On Friday, the girls played St John’s and St Stithians girls and lost both fixtures 9-3. The St Mary’s team played much better on Friday, however they lost 10-3 to a strong Graeme College team and 9-4 to KEPS with St Mary’s Kaylee Verster taking a game off one of the boys. On Saturday, St Mary’s lost 9-3 to St Stithians Boys and drew 6-6 to St Mary’s DSG.

The festival was a great learning curve for the St Mary’s team and exposed them to a high standard of squash. We look forward to playing in this tournament again.
