They have brought a new and exciting dimension to our boys' coaching. Thanks must also go to Mr Peter Kirsten, our statistician and scorer, for the hours he meticulously puts into the team, and his passion for the game. Thanks also to specialist coaches Mr Mthokozisi Shezi and Mr Khaya Zondo for their professional input. Thank you to Miss Danielle Cairns for her professionalism as the team’s biokineticist and conditioning specialist. It would be remiss of me not to thank our parent body for their positive support in a very successful year. Their encouragement and presence in numbers, at venues local and international, has played a major part in the team’s success. I would also like to especially thank Mr Dean Moodley as our Master in Charge of Cricket. He is a passionate cricketing man, and his efficiency and selfless service are commendable and greatly appreciated by the cricketing fraternity. Finally, a big thank you to the grounds staff who prepare great wickets for us to play on every week. We are blessed at the College to have such impressive facilities.
