Cricket action at Delville Sports Club

The Delville Sports Club hosted the Last Man Stands (LMS) cricket tournament final on Saturday.

LMS is a senior tournament that is mostly played at the club on Sundays.

The season commenced early this year, in May, and the organisers say it was a successful season.

The tournament received great support from participants and community members, who also witnessed excellent cricket.

“Big ups to all the players and teams who competed; we played on excellent fields and everything was well co-ordinated, “said one of the organisers, Justin de Beer.

The tournament continues to grow with more teams joining each season and first class cricket action is witnessed every season.

As in the previous season, the Green Mambas made it to the finals and went head-to-head with the Boksburg Badgers.

After a fair game, Boksburg Badgers won by 102 for the loss of two wickets, after 14.2 overs against the Green Mambas’ 101 for six wickets, after 20 overs.

A prize-giving ceremony was held shortly after the final match.

“A big thank you to TES Consulting for being the season sponsor, Elspark Sports Ground and Germiston Cricket Club for keeping the fields tip-top,” said de Beer.

LMS’s organising committee are already making arrangements for the new season that is scheduled to start on Sunday, October 12.

There is also a night league season, that will start next Wednesday, October 15.

“We have boomed at great pace and we are looking at more teams in the seasons to follow, we have teams joining us from as far as Benoni, Alberton and Bedfordview,” added de Beer.

New teams are also encouraged to register and catch the new season.
