25 May 2012 - League game 4 - The players

Good day to all.

On Tuesday, I started a knock-out 'tournament' to give the up and coming players a chance to get into the league matches.  I picked 16 players (8 regular league players and 8 up and coming players) to play each other to see who plays today.

On Thursday, I got extremely good news - our opponents are sending 2 teams!  This means that 12 players will get the chance to play, in stead of 6!

We finished our 'tournament' today during first break and the results are in!
The top 3:

1 - Enrico Davids            3.5 / 4
2 - Clint van Rooyen       3.0 / 4
3 - Liam Meyer              3.0 / 4

Then the rest of the "A"-team includes,
4 - Trevor Rademeyer    2.5 / 4
5 - JJ Oosthuizen            2.5 / 4
6 - Cheran Melite           2.0 / 4 *

* Cheran played in the place of Gary Hess from the second round, who won his first round.  Thus I cannot credit Cheran with Gary's win.  That is why the full results will display Cheran's name in second spot.

Then the "B"-team will consists of the following players.  The came in position 7 to 12.

1 - Chad Mckenzie
2 - Craig Strydom
3 - Wikus van Niewholtz
4 - David Combrinck
5 - Jacques Claasen
6 - Wouter Rademeyer

Other names that must be mentioned, that also participated, included:
Ravian Daniels (Round 1)
Mambesi Mnana (Round 1)
Gary Hess (Round 1)
Ndinani Sibelekwani
Zukhanye Mqumbisa
Mickyla du Preez  (Round 2 - 4)
Kyle Mallach   (Round 2 - 4)

I will keep you posted with the results, after we finish our matches this afternoon.

:-)
