South African Knight Visit to Carlisle Squash Club
9th January 2009
Cumbria squash fans were treated to a great evening when the South African Knights Touring Team visited Carlisle Squash Club as part of their 24th Tour to the United Kingdom.
The South African knights whose ages ranged from 19 to 27 years old took on a
Carlisle Squash Club Select side whose age range was “considerably” wider than
that of their opponents but the details of that will not be divulged to save any
embarrassment.
First on court was Carlisle’s Graeme Coulthard who took on the Knights Captain
Munro Montanus, in an entertaining opener to the evening Graham was defeated by
three games to love.
The following match between Tony Hetherington from Carlisle and the Knights 19 year old Richard Dodd also resulted in a three games to love victory to the South African.
The evening continued with Carlisle’s experienced Dave Box tackling the much younger Christopher Cherry. Dave took the first game 11-8 but in the end the fitness of Christopher overcame the experience of David and the match ended in a three one victory to the Knights player.
Carlisle’s youngest player Paul Bell then took on Christo Potieger. In a very entertaining tight match Carlisle Select gained their first victory of the night when Paul eventually beat his opponent 3-1.
The final game was between Carlisle’s Michael Tinning and the Knights Jan-Hendrik Mulder and provided a fitting end to the evening with another tight and hard fought game which the Knights player won 3-1.
The final result of a great evening of high class squash was victory to the South African Knights by four matches to one
After the match the Knights were presented with Cumbria County Badges as a token of appreciation by Tom Armstrong, Chair and Secretary of Cumbria Squash
