Squash Academy takes first title

THE Legal Shield Wanderers Business Squash League recently came to an end and Squash Academy emerged as the champions.

PriceWaterhouseCoopers took the second spot, while Itec was third in what was considered one of the toughest seasons in many years. Securitas were the defending champions and failed to contain the strong challenge posed by the Squash Academy team, which includes two of Namibia’s most sought-after squash players, Monika Kalondo and John Lingashi.There were eight teams in competition this year, with games played at both the Wanderers and Klein Windhoek Squash Courts.Legal Shield were the main sponsors for the third consecutive year and expressed willingness to continue with their contribution to the development of the game in the country.Organiser Gerdus Lourens has called on the current teams to confirm their participation for next season before November 15, when entries will be opened to other teams.The event also saw various booby prizes such as telephone directories, phone cards and maps being handed out to players who are either consistently late for games or who run out of cellphone air time at crucial times.Securitas were the defending champions and failed to contain the strong challenge posed by the Squash Academy team, which includes two of Namibia’s most sought-after squash players, Monika Kalondo and John Lingashi.There were eight teams in competition this year, with games played at both the Wanderers and Klein Windhoek Squash Courts.Legal Shield were the main sponsors for the third consecutive year and expressed willingness to continue with their contribution to the development of the game in the country.Organiser Gerdus Lourens has called on the current teams to confirm their participation for next season before November 15, when entries will be opened to other teams.The event also saw various booby prizes such as telephone directories, phone cards and maps being handed out to players who are either consistently late for games or who run out of cellphone air time at crucial times.
