There was also some excellent competition in the boys’ U13 B section, which finished with a win for Rossouw Bornman (EP) when he defeated East London’s Kamva Ntlose 3-0 in their final match 15-7 17-15 15-12.
The boys’ U13 C section was extremely closely contested, reflected in the final between Tyler Joubert (EP) and Adam Sieg (EP). In a humdinger where both players showed outstanding temperament, Joubert eventually got home in five games, 15-9 16-14 12-15 14-16 15-12.
There was great spirit in the U11 boys’ section, with one of the best matches being between Leo Collins (East London) and Nicholas Bornman (EP), which Collins won 15-17 15-10 15-11 11-15 15-5.
The boys’ U11 final was won by Adam Packery (EP) who beat great rival and friend Joshua Hall (EP) in a very close match 15-7 11-15 9-15 15-11 15-12.
The girls’ U13 final was also contested between players who know each other well, culminating in a 3-2 win for Faatima Packery (EP) over Janel Hall (EP).
The final scoreline of 17-15 16-14 11-15 13-15 15-10 was an indication that the finalists left everything out there on the court.
The tournament was supported by Brian Bands Sports, Ian Share and a gracious anonymous donor.

Eastern Province Schools Squash hosted a highly successful Bay Open tournament earlier this month, drawing a wide range of entries from across the Eastern and Southern Cape.
Players from East London, Eden and Makhanda joined participants from Gqeberha in the event, with the U13 boys’ section having the biggest entry.
This enabled the two-day tournament to produce some high-class action, epitomised by the U13 A section clash between Austin Maxwell (EP) and Zivan de Klerk (Eden), which the former won in a 3-2 nail-biter.
However, the boys’ U13 A section final was won by eventually by Liam Fehrsen (EP), who outduelled provincial colleague Keeran Morrison 3-1 in a wonderful display of speed, accuracy and some amazing drop shots.
Morrison put up an excellent fight before going down 15-8 16-14 11-15 15-4.
