LAST weekend Vryheid Cricket Club held it’s annual cricket festival at Cecil Emmett Park.
As always, the event was very well supported and a great time was had by all.
When grown ups take over: Steen Smith and Charles Jansen Van Vuuren show the children that grown ups can have fun too.
The festival started on Saturday and ended on Sunday afternoon with everyone leaving for a well deserved rest.
Despite numerous rain interruptions, all the games were played. The games were toughly contested and played in the true spirit of the sport.
The eventual winners of the tournament were the Wicket Wasps who were unbeaten the entire festival and beat King Superstars in the final. Well done, chaps!

Mr X captain, David Sandalls, takes an impressive catch in the outfield.
As for our challenge in last week’s newspaper article, Mr X once again suffered middle order mayhem and lost to Wicket Wasps in their game. Mr X, the committee will be waiting for you on Saturday at Pick ‘n’ Pay for your team to partake in the Vryheid Herald shavathon!
This weekend’s fixtures are as follows: Saturday – Mr X vs Wicket Wasps 1:30pm and Sunday – Mr X vs Gladiators 9:30am. Both matches will take place at Cecil Emmett Park in Vryheid.
