JARVIS KAPLAN TOURNAMENT UPDATE – MOSSSEL BAY

What a battle! 💪

Our Namibian Jarvis team continues to fly the Namibian flag high at the annual Jarvis Kaplan Tournament in Mossel Bay, South Africa.

Yesterday, the boys faced one of the toughest teams in the competition, Northerns, in an encounter that went right down to the wire.

Although the result didn't fall our way, every single player left everything on the court and showcased the determination, fighting spirit and sportsmanship that Namibia is so proud of.

Yesterday's Results:
🏆 Danie Greeff – Lost 2–3
🏆 Francois Hanekom Junior – Won 3–0
🏆 Christof Knoetze – Lost 0–3
🏆 Le-Hugo van Rooyen – Lost 2–3
🏆 Arno Diekmann – Won 3–0

Several matches could have gone either way, proving just how competitive this team has been throughout the tournament.

The challenge doesn't get any easier! At 09:00 this morning, our boys take on SACD C, the only unbeaten side in the tournament and the current front-runners. It will take heart, grit and an incredible team effort—but if there's one thing we've learned from this group, it's that they never stop fighting.

We believe in you, lads! Leave everything on the courts, back each other, play with pride, and enjoy every moment. 💙💛❤️

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing sponsors, whose generous support has made this tour possible:
👏 Power Line Africa
👏 Monte Christo Service Station
👏 Ecoso Dynamics

Your investment in Namibian squash and our athletes is sincerely appreciated. Without partners like you, opportunities such as these would not be possible.

Let's all get behind our boys and wish them the very best for today's massive encounter!

Go Namibia! 💪

🌟 FINAL APPRECIATION POST 🌟

As we head into the finals, the biggest thank you goes to the families who made the Huster Machinetool / Monte Christo Open 2026 possible.

Michael + Kathrin Hüster from Hüster Machinetools, and Clinton + Bianca McElhone from Monte Christo Service Station - you were absolutely magical 🙌

Yes, your financial contribution was incredible. But it’s the heart behind it that made this event special:
Making sure there was milk + hot chocolate for everyone.
Marinating steaks for the prego rolls.
Sitting in the bar all day handing out hoodies + goodies.
Showing up, not just sponsoring.

Last year we hosted the biggest event in Namibian squash history for 2025. This year you helped us pull off another absolute banger.

To the Hüster and McElhone families: Thank you for your support, your time, and your belief in our sport. We couldn’t do this without you ❤️

🍷 APPRECIATION POST #4 🍷

The Huster Machinetool / Monte Christo Open is for everyone.

Not every player is chasing world champ status. We’ve got divisions for the guys and girls who just want to have fun, meet new people, and learn the ropes of this beautiful game.

That’s our Cheese & Wine Division!

A huge shoutout to Ricardo Abrantes and his team at Coffee & Wine Co for sponsoring every player in this division with a bottle of red wine as a welcome gift.

That kind gesture means so much. It’s gestures like this that help us grow the sport, welcome beginners, and make tournament weekend feel special from the first serve.

✨ APPRECIATION POST #3 ✨
