2026 SA Junior Top 16 Closed Tournament

Tournament Results

A total of 23 Centurion Junior Squash (CJS) players competed in the prestigious SA Top 16 Closed Tournament, held at the Parkview Squash Centre in Johannesburg from 17–19 April 2026. This is a fantastic achievement and a proud moment for CJS!

The Top 16 is one of the most competitive events on the junior squash calendar, where the top-ranked players in South Africa are invited to compete in each age group. Being part of this tournament is a true reflection of consistent performance, dedication, and hard work throughout the season.

Our CJS players stepped onto the court against the very best in the country, embracing the challenge and gaining valuable experience in a high-pressure environment. These are the matches that push players to grow — to adapt, stay focused, and raise their level of play.

A very special congratulations goes to Starla Phillips and Judah Phillips, who both claimed 1st place in the U19 divisions — an incredible achievement that means they were the top players in the tournament. What a proud moment for CJS, and for them as brother and sister! 🏆👏

We are incredibly proud of all 23 players who represented CJS this weekend. Your commitment, resilience, and passion for the game continue to inspire the next generation of players coming through the ranks. 💙💛

👏 Congratulations to each of you on being part of this elite group — it’s an achievement worth celebrating!
