Devandre Eyman has made the Toekomsrus Primary School proud by taking part in the KFC Mini-Cricket tournament.
He outdid himself while playing for South Africa against Australia on Friday, 30 March at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium.
According to the KFC Mini-Cricket website, this is an opportunity that is afforded to aspiring young boys and girls who are introduced to the sport.
“This softball level gives the children the enjoyment that comes with participating in a team sport and also gets them acquainted with the basics of the game, including batting, bowling and fielding. Mini-cricket was the first organised softball cricket game in the world, and has drawn over 2 million children to date,” said the website.
A few changes were made to certain elements within the programme, including extending the age of girls participating to 13 and the introduction of pre-school mini-cricket for children of four years old. In Cricket South Africa’s bid to make cricket a truly national sport of winners and accessible to all, the organisation also introduced mini-cricket for the differently-abled.
“More than 105 000 children participated in the programme around the country, while the number of coaches and schools participating has increased to nearly 8 000 and 4 800 respectively,” the website added.
Other West Randers who were also at the Wanderers Stadium were Tshepo Livhadela from Dr Mary Malahlela Primary School in Dobsonville and Lebo Mtehene from Laerskool Florida.
