Badminton: Kovsies rule the national students championships
2006-04-11

Kovsies' badminton players again, as in the past few years, rule the national students championships currently being presented in Pretoria by TUT and UP.

 The men, Chris Dednam, Roelof Dednam, Wiaan Viljoen and Raymond Ronne, had no other serious competition and were left to each other's rivalry.  Especially Roelof Dednam performed excellent by surprisingly going through to the finals in beating Viljoen in the singles, and with Elaine Lues also Chris Dednam and Liansa Coetzee in the mixed doubles.

 In the absence of Annari Viljoen (injured) and Sone Strauss (retired), the less experienced girls, Liansa Coetzee and Lizl Janse van Rensburg, had to uphold the Kovsie name.  They performed excellent by taking third and fourth positions.

In the team competition which now takes place,  Kovsies should make a clean sweep.

It is a pity that, through financial restraints, Kovsies players will not in October strengthen the SASSU team to the world student championships in China.

Results of the individual championships:

Men's singles:  winner - Chris Dednam (UFS), runner-up - Roelof Dednam (UFS), third - Wiaan Viljoen (UFS), fourth - Raymond Ronne (UFS);

Men's doubles:  winners - Chris Dednam / Roelof Dednam (UFS), runners-up- Wiaan Viljoen / Raymond Ronne (UFS);

Women's singles:  winner - Kerry-Lee Harrington (KZN), runner-up - Christina English (TUT), third - Liansa Coetzee (UFS), fourth - Liezl Janse van Rensburg (UFS);

Women's doubles:  winners - Kerry-Lee Harrington (KZN) / Christina English (TUT), runners-up - Liansa Coetzee (UFS) / Maret Visser (NW), quarter-finals - Elaine Lues / Anel Vorster (UFS), Liezl Janse van Rensburg (UFS) / Sarah Rice (Wits);

Mixed doubles:  winners - Andre van Schalkwyk / Christina English (TUT), runners-up - Roelof Dednam / Elaine Lues (UFS), third - Chris Dednam / Liansa Coetzee (UFS), fourth - Wiaan Viljoen / Liezl Janse van Rensburg (UFS).
