Father-and-son combination win LTT Tennis Day

Two visitors from Bela-Bela managed to win the Louis Trichardt Tennis Day that took place on Saturday.

“In the past, this day was an annual event held and attended by many clubs in the region. Over the years, it died down, but the club decided to try and get this special day going again,” said the club’s chairperson, Henk Beukes.

The turnout for the event was excellent and even the weather played along nicely. “We are grateful for the big turnout, as even people from Mokopane and Bela-Bela attended the tournament,” said Beukes.

The doubles tournament was won by Wynand and Jacques Bothma, who beat the local team of Elardus du Plessis and Gysbert Guillaume in the final.

The following prizes were awarded at the end of the competition:

* Sunita Pretorius - Overall sh#t day
* Pieter Guillaume - Clown of the day

* Elizma Pohl - The player who threw a spanner in the works
* Craig Viljoen - Tantrum of the day
* Bertus Guillaume - Troublemaker of the day
* Armand Roets - Youngest player of the day
