Glenwood Premier League launched

THE Glenwood Premier League is a new concept created by Glenwood High School to ensure that boys in lower teams in their respective age groups are still enthralled by the great game of cricket and its competitiveness.

The Glenwood Premier League ensures that boys play competitive games week in and week out, thus ensuring a number of factors such as keeping the boys busy on the sports field instead of being bored at home, ensuring basic fitness and development of a boys motor skills, allowing everyone to enjoy the thrill of playing a tournament and winning a trophy, keeping boys interested in the game of cricket, bettering player ability and thus strengthening Glenwood cricket in the long run, as well as many other benefits.

“My wish is for the boys to play for their same team and create an identity to their side, and eventually talk at Old Boys’ dinners about winning the GPL,” says Robert Webber, HOD at Glenwood High and MIC of cricket.

Each player will play with an arm band with the logo and name of the specific team to create a league effect. The teams are the Green Warriors (U14I), Green Knights (U14J), Green Samurais (U14K), Black Spartans (U15E), Black Rebels (U15F), Red Outlaws (U15G), Yellow Warriors ( U16D), Red Knights (U16E), Yellow Outlaws (5th XI) and Team Gripless (6th XI and Glenwood’s rugby training squad).
