THE highlight of the Namibian squash calendar this year, the Coach Sean Invitational, takes place at the Wanderers Squash Club from 28 to 30 November when Namibia’s top eight male players will battle it out for top honours and prize money to the value of N$24 500.
The tournament was made possible with sponsorships from Wanderers Squash Club, Sanlam Namibia, Paco Engineering, Quickbooks Accounting Namibia, Plant’d and Xterra 4×4 Outdoor & Fitment Centre.
In the run-up to the event The Namibian will place profiles of the eight finalists who have qualified for the tournament and today we take a look at Andy Fourie.
Andy Fourie grew up in Cape Town where he started playing squash at the age of 10.
He made an immediate impact and was selected for the Western Province under 11 side and continued to represent them until u19 level.
At the age of 14 he made the South African junior team, while he played for Bergvliet Squash Club in Cape Town where he won the club championship at the age of 20.
Three years ago Fourie moved to Namibia and came third at two tournaments hosted by Wanderers Squash Club.
This year he won his first title in Namibia when he won the Namibian Newspaper League tournament.
The 26-year-old Fourie is currently ranked seventh in Namibia.
