MYO - Windhoek Tennis Tournament


Back to Main Menu Windhoek Tennis Tournament — 26-27 January 2007 We left the MYO office at 8am on a Friday morning for our first tournament of the year. Mr. Rob drove 10 of our top tennis players along with chaperones Mr. Beau, Miss Alexis, Mr. Herman and head coach Mr. Julian. It was a long drive across the desert, but we stopped for a cool drink and some sweets—we spotted lots of baboons, ostriches and a Kudu along the way. We played matches from 2:00 on Friday and all day Saturday. The matches were played at 4 different venues, so the MYO combi was busy moving players to the courts where they were scheduled to play. RESULTS: MYO fared well in the tennis tournament, especially considering that our kids had not practiced since they left for their villages in early December. Competition was tough, as always. Paulina finished 3rd in girls under-12 singles and 2nd in girls under-12 doubles Chief finished 5th (1st in the backdraw) for under-12 boys Mary finished 5th (1st in the backdraw) for under-14 girls Frieda and Ndeshipanda finished 3rd in girls under-14 doubles Click a thumbnail below to see an enlarged photo from the adventure.
