“We are appealing to younger players to join the club and play in our u-9, u-10, u-13, u-15 and u-17 teams,” said Grobler.
“Without the junior structure, we will not be able to play in the Premier League in the next two years.
“Hand in hand with the junior structure, we need to get a minimum of four Sunday league teams and two Saturday league teams within our senior structure to be able to play in the Premier League.
“We are determined to keep cricket alive, not only for us, but for the whole community and our children who will follow in the years to come.”
For more information on the club call Grobler on 079 520 3642 or email martiens@copalcor.co.za, alternatively call Len Jacobs (vice-chairperson) on 082 925 6273.
