KZNCU scoops sports award
KZN Cricket Union was awarded as the Federation of the Year at the KZN Sports Awards.
CAPPING a thoroughly successful season for the KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union (KZNCU), the province’s cricket federation was named Federation of the Year at the KZN Sport Awards at the Durban ICC last week.
From the Hollywoodbets Dolphins sharing the Momentum One Day Cup, to contesting the RAM SLAM T20 Challenge final, to the Hollywoodbets KZN Coastal winning the CSA 3-Day Challenge and Hollywoodbets KZN Inland winning the Africa T20 Cup, it was a watershed season for the KZN Cricket Union.
“It has been an incredible year for the KZN Cricket family and we are delighted to be recognised by the KZN Department of Sport and Recreation. The hard work and dedication from all the staff at the union has been incredible and the award is justification for everything that they have done,” CEO of KZN Cricket Heinrich Strydom said.
Speaking after the ceremony, president Ben Dladla highlighted an area that the union wants to improve on going forward. “We need to keep expanding the game of cricket into the rural areas. We have set up a number of hubs throughout the greater KwaZulu-Natal region but we want to continue to grow the game in the province. It is also important that we continue to meet all the targets set by Cricket South Africa and the national government.”
South African U19 star and Northwood school boy Andile Mogakane was awarded the MEC Special Recognition Award.
