Long standing club president Robert Thompson welcomed the past and present members and handed over the prizes to the winners.

We are forever grateful to the founding members who started the Parys Squash Club in 1976 and we very fortunate to have some of them attend the festivities today. Dr Piet Swartz told the story of how the courts were planned and built by the Parys municipality and Mr Lou van Wyk explained the history behind the Pokken Homer trophy that was awarded to the winner of the bells tournament this morning!

Thank you Heinie Rutkowski and his wife Estelle who did all the tournament admin. Heinie also won the most points and is the recipient of the Pokken Homer trophy.

Almari Claassen was the runner up and lady with the most points, winning the Thompson family trophy for her efforts.

Other prizes went to Caroline Prinsloo, who got the sharp shooter and chicken awards for the day.
Karyn Vosloo won the let's just take over award.
Lou van der Merwe won the swishy award. And Mossie got the breker award.

Thank you to Robert and the committee for the unwavering effort in keeping our club running smoothly and organising the festivities.

What better way to celebrate 50 years of squash in Parys than by playing squash!

The bells tournament held this morning kept everyone on the courts and the antique rackets kept players on their toes. We had a good laugh at all the swishies to start with but by the end of the day there was no lack of power coming from those little sweets spots.

It was enjoyed by young and old. The pros and those playing for the first time. Thank you to the visitors who joined us.

Vivienne has been chosen to represent South Africa at the 2026 WSF World Junior Squash Championships in Canada later this year.

She started playing squash as a little girl with Tannie Elize in Parys and now attends Eunice school in Bloemfontein, but you'll still spot her at the Parys courts during the holidays.

She is the number 1 ranked girl in the Free State and will be representing the province at the IPTs at the end of the month and also playing in the Growth Point under 19 Nationals in Cape Town.

It's a once in a lifetime oppertunity for her to represent South Africa in Canada, but comes at a huge cost so any donation will help to make this dream come true.

With a focus on fitness and drills, we need to make sure they are ready to give their best for the province. We got some actions shots of some of the squad this afternoon.
