A record number of matches were played on the South Coast last weekend.
The very young Southern KwaZulu-Natal men’s team travelled to Durban to play Hillary-Malven, one of the top sides in the Challenge League.
Batting first, unfortunately not enough runs were scored and Southern KZN were restricted to 65 all out.
On a tough pitch, great bowling by captain Cody Mortimer and veteran Raja Kazi kept the game close, and Southern KZN eventually lost by only four wickets.
Southern KZN can be very proud that two umpires, Pieter Myburgh and Dyllan Govender, have been called up to umpire KZN Challenge League games this season.
Anyone interested in becoming involved in umpiring in the local cricket league please call Aadil Moola 081 7863055.
The region is aiming to select a women’s cricket team to play in the KZN cricket league next season. For more info, contact Aadil Moola 081 7863055.
Some very entertaining cricket was played in the local league and it seemed like a weekend full of runs with batsmen cashing in.
