Monument Primary School cricket boys have been knocking over the stumps on the cricket pitches in Northern KwaZulu-Natal (NKZN) recently.

Avuyile Potelwa and Jonathan Drysdale have both claimed the title of record holders for taking wickets.

On July 28, Avuyile was part of the Monument U/13 team that took on Huttenpark at home in Ladysmith. He managed to take seven wickets for only eight runs in four overs, which is the record for the U/13 division in NKZN.
