Jarvis & Kaplan Wrap
Liz Addison
reports
If one could find a way to bottle the “Jarvis/Kaplan spirit”
and sell it to other one could become rich. It always
fascinates how teams play inspired squash and lift their
performances with their team’s support enveloping them.
Western Province women’s A team, which had dropped two
matches against Northerns A the previous day ,started off in
different fashion against defending champions Central
Gauteng . Sacha West playing hesitantly in the first game
against Kathryn Blake, but winning it 16-14 got stronger and
stronger, taking the next two 11-9 11-1 to give Western
Province their first match.
Next match on was Milnay Louw, who represented South Africa
in the 2010 Women’s World Team Championships in new Zealand,
and talented left hander Diana Argyle who had represented
South Africa in 2008. Louw dropped the first game, but team
support saw her out manoeuvre Argyle and pocket the next 3
to give Western Province their second match.
The clash between Emma Beddoes ranked 25 in the world, and
Tenille van der Merwe, the national number 1 and ranked 35
in the world, fizzled to a comfortable 3-1 victory for van
der Merwe. Beddoes took the first game at 11-2 but
thereafter van der Merwe gained control pocketing the next 3
at 11-8 11-8 11-8 to give Western Province the Kaplan
Trophy.
Alexandra Fuller, who had suffered a surprise 0-3 defeat, at
the hands of Northerns’ Robyn Baptiste also dropped the
first game to Nicola Helwick, but gained in confidence and
won the next 3 . Province’s captain Karen Blom (the other
person to lose a match against Northerns) played hard
attacking squash to account for Adel Weir Nunan in straight
game and complete Province’s 5-0 win.
The playing order for the first 4 days was 3,4,5,2,1 – the
draw for the final day was drawn for all sections resulting
in 4,2,1,5,3.
Starting at 11h30 Gary Wheadon (Kzn) and Rudi Willemse (WP)
took to the court. Wheadon, who has battled to find form
this year, drew first blood for the defending champions.
Willemse took the first game 12-10 but Wheadon just turned
up the heat and won the next 3 games 11-9 11-2 11-4. Playing
in his second Jarvis, Hungarian Mark Krasjcak, had the
measure of Western Province’s captain, Rodney Durbach, only
needing 3 games to win through 11-6 11-7 11-6.
In an entertaining tussle Steve Coppinger clinched the title
for Kwazulu Natal when he took 5 games to beat Shaun Le
Roux. UCT University student notched Western Province’s only
win when he defeated Andrew Martin in 4 games. In a case of
déjà vu , the final encounter saw Kwazulu Natal’s captain,
Adrian Hansen, up against Zuko Kubukeli. 2010 – Hansen
clawed to victory but despite being the third Kwazulu
Natalian to lose the first game 10-12 against their Western
Province’s opponent, he was in complete control in the end 3
winning 11-7 11-4 11-2 to give Kwazulu Natal an 18-7 win.
With the scoring a point per game and 5 bonus points Kwazulu
Natal had delivered an awesome performance during the week
winning 20-1 20-3 20-0and 20-7.
Border delivered their best ever performance defeating
Central Gauteng 15-8 although finishing 4th on 63 points 2
points behind their opponents. Thoboki Mohohlo started off
in winning fashion outplaying Jason Le Roux but Tim Garner
disposed of Mike Tootill in straight games to level the
matches at 1 all .
Eddie Charlton took a second amtch for the Gautengerss when
he beat Clinton Leeuw in straight games. Clinton Broedelet,
who had not had a succesful week, surprised perhaps himself
and his team, when after trailing by two games to one he
took the fourth and fifth games 11-9 11-9 against the higher
ranked Paul Atkinson. This left Kelvin Edwards the pleasure
of ousting Devon Hendrikse, ranked 11, 11-6 11-6 11-6 to
give hosts Border a welcome victory.
In the third match in the A section Easterns captained by
Craig van der wath had little trouble in outplaying Central
Gauteng second string 20-3.
Northerns B who had been demoted to the Men’s B section
after finishing last in the A section in 2010 defeated
Western Province B to regain promotion while SACD A who had
3 players in the top 20 in their side were ecstatic at
oustring free Satte A to gin promotion to the B section for
2012. Border B beat Border C to win the men’s D section.
SACD completed a highly successful week when the women’s
side led by the 2010 World Deaf champion, Christine Ferreira
won the women’s B section defeating Western Province B .
Despite the hiccough on the Friday 8th when Jane’s car was
stolen and the power cut on the Thursday 14th - the weather
, the venues, the accommodation, the functions , the
camaraderie , the atmosphere, the all contributed to one
really happy squash family from around the country who have
returned home with happy memories of a most enjoyable week.

Day Four, Thursday:
Liz Addison reports
Beautiful weather but Murphy decided things were running too
smoothly so off went the electricity in a number of East
London’s suburbs including the clubs at Cambridge, Hamiltons
and Old Selbornians. Fortunately Beacon Bay and Gonubie were
on another circuit so the teams involved in the morning’s
fixtures, which were interrupted were sent to Beacon Bay and
the Men’s A section moved to Beacon Bay where the Women’s A
section was already scheduled.
In the men’s A section ,Central Gauteng, which
had caused the upset by outplaying second seeded Western
Province in an epic 6 and a half hours, found themselves
outplayed in all positions by Kwazulu Natal’s “shark
attack”. (Their rugby side is the Sharks”). At number 5
Andrew Martin (Kzn) subdued Paul Atkinson in three: Gary
Wheadon dropped a game against Thoboki Mohohlo while “iron
man” Adrian Hansen cruised through against Devon Hendrickse
also in 3. Mike Tootill(CG) pushed Mark Krajcsak to 12-10
but then faded, notching only 3 points in each of the next
two games. Steve Coppinger now ranked 35 in the world,
completed the 20-1 victory beating Eddie Charlton 11-3 11-4
22-8.
Western Province inflicted a similar 20-1 defeat on
Easterns. Shaun Le Roux , Rodney Durbach, Zuko
Kubukeli and Richard Colburn advanced through with straight
game wins over Craig van der Wath, JP Brits, Emmanuel
Musefwe and Wade Groenewald. Rudi Willemse dropped a game
against Rudolf Coetser – Western Province trail by 7 points
so Friday’s clash between Kwazulu Natal and Western Province
looks likely to be a cliffhanger.
Border A were also not under any pressure as they
dropped only 3 points against Central Gauteng B and
sit fourth on the log.
In the women’s A section Central Gauteng, the
defending champions and Western Province defeated
Eastern Province and Northerns respectively.
Central Gauteng’s 19-5 score does not reflect two of the
battles that took place. Alison Oshry notched a win for
Eastern Province when she beat Sharon Le Roux 12-10 in the
fifth while Adel Weir Nunan had to draw on all her
experience to edge through against 17 year old Elani Landman.
Nunan took the first 2 games 11-7 14-12 . Nuggety play by
the athletic Landman saw her back in the game as she
proceded to take the next two games ,strangely also 11-7
14-12. The fifth game was another tussle which Nunan took
12-10. Diana Argyle and Emma Beddoes at 2 and 1 respectively
were noyt extended in their clashes , both winning in
straight games.
Western Province registered a 16-6 win over Northerns with
the latter taking two of the matches. At number 5 Robyn
Baptist continued on her winning way beating the national
junior captain, Alexandra Fuller in 3 games. Cara Fourie (Northerns)
delivered a sound performance in accounting for Karen Blom
in 5 games. Tenille van der Merwe, Milnay Louw and Sacha
West wrapped up the match for Western Province defeating
Cheyna Tucker, Senade Haupt and Sonica Fritz .
Before Friday’s final clash Western Province sit on 56
points and Central Gauteng on 54.
Northerns A and Western Province B clash in the decider on
Friday with only 3 points separating them while the decider
in Section C between Free State A and SACD A will be a
humdinger – they are only 1 point apart.
So the stage is set for an awesome finals day ...

A special aura
It is difficult to describe the “aura” of Jarvis/Kaplan.
The unbelievable team spirit and support engendered by
players staying together 24/7 in one town : battling it out
on the courts daily for a week : supporting one’s other
provincial sides at their playing sessions – the different
sections play at different venues and different times :
socialising for the rest of the day and evening – brings
about a camaraderie that has fascinated many people and also
international visitors who have been part of the week.
To name a few Chris Dittmar, Joey Barrington, Liam Kenny,
Johnny Williams, Laurens Anjema, Renan Lavigne, Tim Vale,
Mark Krajscak, Tim Garner, Sarah Fitzgerald, Natalie
Grainger (although her home country).
Players, managers and this year referees from around the
country are gathered together for a week which will remain
for a long time in one’s memory. |
Day Three in East London
Liz
Addison reports
With two days remaining the atmosphere and pressure at the
various courts in East London is rising – as is the
temperature fortunately – 21 degrees today.
In the men’s A section second seeded Western Province
and third seeds Central Gauteng were involved in a titanic
struggle lasting 6 and a half hours . Zuko Kubukeli drew
first blood for Province beating Devon Hendrickse in four
games. Two talented young players then took to the court –
Rudi Willemse (WP) and Thoboki Mohohlo (CG)- Willemse
started strongly winning the first game 11-4 but Mohohlo
started lengthening the rallies, but Willemse still had
enough control to win the second game 13-11 and it appeared
as though Province may get a second match. Mohohlo had other
ideas and waltzed through the third game 11-5. Points
seesawed until 12-all with the Gautenger edging through
14-12 and gaining in confidence he reeled in Willemse and
the match at 11-4 in the fifth to level the matches. Next
on, the number 5’s Richard Colburn (WP) and Paul Atkinson
(CG). (Colburn ‘s father Alan and his mother Lorraine (nee
Holmes) both earned national squash colours two decades
ago).
2011 has seen Atkinson, who has relocated from Johannesburg
(CG) to Cape Town (WP) but retain his right to represent
Gauteng, struggle to find form but his timing was perfect.
Trailing by two games to one, he hung in to win the fourth
and fifth games 12-10 12-10 to give the Gautengers a 2-1
lead. Two “masters” and the captains of the respective
sides- national player Rodney Durbach aged 37 and Mike
Tootill , former National player aged 43, both ranked in the
top 12 followed on court. Another epic battle going to five
ensued but it was a determined Durbach who captured the 4th
and 5th games 11-4 11-2 as Tootill faded. 4 matches = 5
hours !!
2 matches each: 10 games to 9 in WP’s favour and 189 points
to 167.
Shaun le Roux (WP) Eddie Charlton (CG): Charlton, rebounding
from his loss to Craig van der Wath the previous day, took
the first two games 12-10 11-3 only to see le Roux lift his
game and pocket the games 11-1 11-8 : tension and crowd
support mounted : Le Roux led 9-7: Charlton held match point
at 10-9 : le Roux at 11-10: Charlton at 12-11 and then 13-12
: both players desperately retrieving and STROKE – to
Charlton after 90 minutes of sweat and ....
In complete contrast the powerful Kwazulu Natal line-up lead
by Steve Coppinger and Mark Krajcsak cruised through 20-0
15-0 games against Central Gauteng B.
With much vocal support the host team Border registered an
18-7 win over Easterns: Tim Garner disposing of JP Britz
11-6 11-8 11-1 and Clinton Leeuw subduing Craig van der wath
in 4 games.
In Section B Northerns A – demoted last year after
finishing 6th- lead with 59 points followed by Western
Province on 58.
As seeded SACD A (59 points) and Free State A (56 points)
are on a collision course in Section C with the next
nearest team Western Province C on 40 points.
The D section completed their pools and will now
advance to the knockout positional play-offs. In Pool A:
Border B 55 points; Easterns B 41; SACD B 22: Eastern
Province C 20. Pool B: Border C 55: Free State B 39: Central
Gauteng D 30: Easterns C 4.
Women: A : Central Gauteng had a comfortable victory
over Easterns A. Emma Beddoes lost only 13 points to Lauren
Siddall. Diana Argyle was pushed to 5 games by Angie Clifton
Parks who is playing competitively again after nearly a
year’s lay-off because of injury. Adel Weir Nunan dropped a
game to Lindy Riphagen as did Nicola Helwick to Michele
Kohne. Western Province with Tenille van der Merwe and
Milnay Louw at the helm disposed of Eastern Province 20-1.
In the C section Midlands finished first in Pool B
beating Border 18-9 – a bit deceptive as it was 3 matches to
2. Western province B accounted for SACD A 16-7 so as to win
pool A.

Refs on Board
At the weekend funded by the Lottery Squash South Africa
hosted a National Refereeing Workshop attended by 26
delegates.
One of these delegates – mainly provincial referees with 3
national referees remained on Monday to referee matches .
Five of the referees – Lee Pearson, Alex Hewitson, Craig
Sadler, Ian Harvey and Leon Geldblom are remaining until the
end of the week.
Using the 3 referee system with the qualified referee as the
main referee and a player from each team as the side
referees, is proving most successful.
A slight innovation is that the side referees are sitting
closer together. The players are enjoying the experience and
peace reigns !!!!!

Day Two Roundup
Liz Addison reports
As the weather warmed up in the quiet seaside town of East
London so did the squash in some of the sections.
In the Men’s A section, Central Gauteng defeated
Easterns 19-9 but the match could have swung the other
way. Mike Tootill and Paul Atkinson (CG) added two wins for
Central Gauteng beating J P Brits and Rudolf Coetser
respectively. Former National player Craig Wapnick (Easterns)
raced through the first two games 11-6 11-2 against Toboki
Mohohlo but then relaxed allowing Mohohlo to take the next
two games 11-3 11-3.
The fifth game was a tussle which Mohohlo managed to scrape
through at 12-10 to give Central Gauteng their 3rd win.
Devon Hendrickse (CG) and Emmanuel Musefwe then engaged in
another five game battle which Hendrickse managed to win. In
the number 1 clash, Eddie Charlton received a baptism by
fire in his first match on South African soil when he played
3 times World Masters Squash Champion, (35+ and 40-44) Craig
van der Wath.
Charlton took the first game 11-7 only to see van der Wath
pocket the second 14-12 and the third 11-8. Charlton
levelled matters at 11-8 in the fourth but van der Wath’s
usual disciplined display saw him take the match 11-7 .
Western Province A had a runaway 20-0 victory against
Central Gauteng B while defending champions, Kwazulu
Natal outplayed Border 20-3. The highlight in this fixture
was between Steve Coppinger and Clinton Leeuw.
With the National team for the World Team Championships
being announced at the prize-giving, the pressure is on the
top domestic players to perform.
The score seesawed between the two players 11-4 7-11 5-11
11-5 8 all. Coppinger gained the handout and two unforced
errors from Leeuw saw Coppinger at his first match ball with
which he clinched the match.
In the Kaplan Cup (women’s A section) defending champions
Central Gauteng nearly found themselves on the losing
end against Northerns. For Northerns Sonica Fritz and
Robyn Baptiste beat Nicola Helwick and Sharon le Roux
respectively. Cara Fourie took the first two games 11-8 11-9
against Adel Weir-Nunan but faded in the next 3 games 4-11
8-11 9-11.
Central Gautenger Di Argyle dropped the first game to
Tukkies University student , Senade Haupt but won the second
11-7 and edged through the third 15-13 before dominating the
fourth 11-4. Emma Beddoes ruling from the front of the court
outplayed Cheyna Tucker, dropping only 8 points .
The Easterns/Eastern Province match was a tight
affair with Easterns winning through 16-9 (includes 5 bonus
points). World Masters champion (35+ and 40-44) Angie
Clifton Parks drew on her experience to beat Anlen Jarman
while Lauren Siddall was not under any pressure in her
straight game win over Lizelle Goosen.
Midlands and Border are dominating the women’s B
section.
Northerns A and Western Province B are heading for a Friday
morning final shootout in the men’s B section as are SACD A
and Free State in the C section. With the 8 teams in 2 pools
in the Men’s D section scores are fairly evenly matched
after two rounds.

Day one in East London - eventually
Liz Addison reports
Border Squash Association, which last hosted the
annual Jarvis/Kaplan Cup in 2007 was quite relieved when the
first day’s play was completed successfully.
A week ago East London , the host city was struck by
torrential rain which flooded the Border Squash Office.
Beacon Bay, the venue for the A section women sits on a
water table and the floor started to rise.
On Friday afternoon, the 9th July Jane Thompson, the
Border secretary drove to Beacon Bay – in her boot : 12 doz
balls: 240 tournament brochures: 240 tubes toothpaste/soap
for the goody bags: handbag with all personal belongings,
housekeys etc – ran in for 5 minutes and when she came out
her car had been stolen !!!!
So plan XXB – handbooks reprinted, balls flown from
Johannesburg and play started at 8h30 on Monday.
Women's Kaplan Cup :
A Section : Western Province, fielding national
champion and runner-up – Tenille van der Merwe and Milnay
Louw supported by Karen Blom, Sacha West and Alexandra
Fuller, who will be participating in the World Junior
Championships in 10 days time, raced through the Easterns
side 20-1. Lauren Siddall (Easterns) playing in her first
Kaplan Cup had no answers to van der Merwe losing 3-11 9-11
4-11.
Northerns whose team includes two University top 6
players Cheyna Tucker and Senade Haupt, had a reasonably
comfortably 18-9 win over Easter Province A, although
3 matches went to five games. Tucker edged through 11-8 in
the decider against Lizelle Goosen with Robyn Baptiste also
needing 5 games to subdue Allison Oshry.
17 year old Eastern Province player Elani Landman – also a
member of the National junior side going to the USA,
extended Cara Fourie to 9-11 in the fifth.
B Section: 11 teams playing in 2 pools with
cross-over play-offs. Midlands and SACD both
had full houses.
Men's Jarvis Cup: A Section :
Defending champions, Kwazulu Natal handed out a
squash lesson to Easterns racing through 20-1.
National champion Steve Coppinger whose brother Michael is
in hospital in Tooting and who has had little opportunity to
play, accounted for JP Britz in straight games while Mark
Krasjak, fresh from the championships in Reunion, also
waltzed through 3-0 against the recently crowned
Universities champion Emmanues Musefwe, who hails from
Zambia.
Western Province, spearheaded by Shaun le Roux and
Rodney Durbach, inflicted a 19-7 defeat on host province,
Border. Durbach edged through 12-10 against Tim Garner
in the fifth game. In a vital clash Clinton Leeuw, who
swopped Western Province colours for Border this year so as
to have 3 Leeuw brothers in action for the home province,
trailed 12-14 7-11 against le Roux before levelling matters
at 2 games all and winning the tight fifth game 11-9.
The National team to play in the World Championships in
Germany will be announced on Friday night and Le Roux will
be available for South Africa.
Eddie Charlton also playing in his first Jarvis led
central Gauteng A to an easy 20-4 win over their sister
side .
B Section: This sees 3 provincial A teams: Northerns,
Midlands and Eastern Province fighting with Western Province
B fighting for top honours with Kwazulu Natal B and
Northerns B likely to fill the
Bottom two slots.
C Section : Ironically 4 of South Africa’s top 20
players will be seen in action. South African Country
Districts – the smaller provinces hold an annual
championship in May from which they select two men’s and one
women’s sides to compete. They are desperately wanting to
move up sections so as to retain their top players who are
lured away to the more powerful provinces.
Last year with Christo Potgieter and Jimmy Schlebusch they
won the D Section so this year together with Ray Simbule – 3
of the player in the top 20 they have strong opposition from
Free State to win the C Section.
Free State’s number 1 Paul Rodrigues jumped to number 12 on
the rankings by upsetting Mike Tootill (5/8), Rudi Willemse
(top 16), Clinton Leeuw (seeded 2nd) and Rodney Durbach
(3/4) in the Nationals. Playing 2 in the Free State side is
Jacques Swanepoel on a fleeting visit from the USA. These
teams meet on the final day.
D section: 8 teams are doing battle in 2 pools with
cross overplay –offs. Too early to comment at the moment.

HISTORY OF THE JARVIS
CUP
South Africa formed the first national squash association in
the world in 1910 (apart from the United States) which
complied with the rules of the game as played in Britain
(which had no association of its own) and inaugurated a
national championship in the same year. Progress was fairly
slow and it was only in 1955 that we saw the first
international series at home against a British touring side.
For many years it was felt that a full inter-provincial
played in different centres annually would be an ideal
tournament.
A dedicated sportsman by the name of A.K.J. Jarvis, father
of Michael, Roger and Kendal, had won the Border tennis
championships twice and was a regular follower of squash
whether it were league or championship matches. In 1960 he
passed away and his sons made an offer of a trophy in memory
of their late father with a request that an Inter-Provincial
tournament be held that same year.
So, in 1960, we saw the inaugural Jarvis Inter Provincial
for men in Port Elizabeth with Eastern Province as the
hosts. Appropriately the trophy was selected for several
reasons, one of which was the quantity of champagne it could
hold, for the winning captain had the honour of filling it
and sharing it with every player at the tournament in
celebration. In addition a special Jarvis tie was designed
and it had two squash rackets with the Jarvis emblem.
Another innovation was to select a final match between the
winning team and one representing “the best of the rest.”
Our South African ladies were not far behind because they,
too, decided on an annual inter provincial, and the first
one was held in the same year (1960) in Johannesburg. A
trophy for this tournament was kindly donated by Dorothy
Kaplan, wife of South African player, Cecil Kaplan.
Both tournaments were played regularly every year at
separate centres but were only brought together in 1968 (in
Harare, the then Salisbury) when common sense prevailed and
ever since they have been played at the same venue. Here we
have the two top South African tournaments giving leading
players the opportunity to meet and compete with the basis
being sportsmanship and camaraderie, and surely these have
given rise to the tremendous expansion of Masters’ events,
the numerous school and university tournaments which are in
themselves training grounds for promising players.
The fine sporting spirit gave a wonderful foundation that
was so clearly seen by Mr. Jarvis and the bonhomie of all
associated with the various functions has led to various
trophies
being donated over the years. Apart from the Jarvis and
Kaplan cups, we had the XXV Club trophy for the mens’ B
section and Kwa-Zulu Natal presented the Banana Bowl for the
C section. The Ladies’ B section has the Ransom Trophy and
more were to follow for Gary Thompson donated a trophy for
the province achieving the best overall results.
For sportsmanship we have the Seccie de Villiers trophy to
commemorate a great South African player, a character of
squash indeed who passed away in 1980 at the age of thirty
seven and also the Clifton Parks trophy donated by those
delightful sisters Chantal and Angie for sportsmanship in
the Kaplan cup.
The Greg Hammond trophy for the most promising male player
commemorates the untimely death of a fine young player and
then there is the Lance Sibbald trophy in memory of a loyal
top player from Kwa-Zulu Natal who tragically lost his life
in a motor accident in America.
The donation of so many trophies tells it all and apart from
the silver, the participation in these tournaments is a
privilege in itself – the spin off has been nothing short of
fantastic and the goodwill among our men and women players,
administrators, sponsors and spectators is there forever. In
this, the fifty second Jarvis/Kaplan event, there is no
doubt that the quality of play, the court craft, the fitness
and the goodwill, plus the participation by all will prove
to be the jewel of South African Squash.
