Gerald Chauke (17), from block T in Soshanguve gave Athur Eginc a tough welcoming fight at Tuks Sports Centre, Pretoria. The young man looked nervous when they announced that he’ll be wrestling with one of the Yaman’s wrestlers on Cadets mat 6, Athur. “Yes I was nervous but I had a good feeling about the fight because my first match in mat 5, I won it within two minutes”, he said.
Following the first simple win, Chauke received devastated tackles from Athur which resulted in the match ending up with 5-3 points win. The centre started to get more and hotter when Yaman wrestlers shouted “hold him Athur, hold him”. Chauke didn’t hesitate and suddenly he made the temperature low by pulling Egnic head down.
Chauke’s coach, Thabiso Molemo said “the tournament is a good start for the wrestlers to acquire their skills and be able to face fast, and active fighters”. “It all started here at Tuks because it’s the home of Sports in Pretoria”. Many wrestlers got opportunities to face tougher wrestlers from different weights.
