This morning I picked up the Herald and opened it to the club results and was interested in the story of one sided cricket matches in our club cricket written by Alvin Reeves. So I perused through the results and boy was I stunned. Two nine wicket wins for NMMU1. Old Grey win by 314 runs. Rhodes win by 9 wickets and so it goes on. So who are these poor teams who are suffering such indignity. Northerns, Pirates, Welcome, KwaDwesi, Northville, Gamrose to name a few. So I decided to do a … [Read more...] about Degeneration of club cricket

Club Cricket Results
Good day. We have a very active club cricket scene in Port Elizabeth but sometimes struggle to see the results of the top teams who played.

I would not do the whole league but rather concentrate on the Super A and Super B leagues. Thank you. Regards Timothy Emmerson Editor's Notes: Thanks for the suggestion - I am going to pass it on to Nick who … [Read more...] about Club Cricket Results

Fast forward to the fourth consecutive year and we were greeted with a packed President's Room, multimedia presentation, colour co-ordinated shirts, photographers and media galore. I didn't stay for the nibbles but they were certainly streets ahead of the first offering. This is the fourth … [Read more...] about Fourth Time Around St Georges and it Just Gets Bigger
