Cricket league: Old Boys fastest out of the blocks

With the first round of fixtures for the 2014/15 Eastern Cricket season coming to an end, CBC Old Boys Premier XI lead the pack in their Premier League after six matches.

The homeside sits on 24 points, albeit having played one game more than their closest rivals in Benoni Northerns and defending champion Kempton Park, with both sitting on 20 and 19 points respectively.

Captain Willie Berhardt and his team have been in fine form thus far, with their impressive run including claiming both Northerns and Kempton sculps, with talismanic batsman Wesley Coulentianos smashing centuries in both encounters.

In contrast, things are not looking so rosy for Kwa-Thema (KT) Windies, sitting at the bottom of the table, having yet to register their first win.

Elsewhere, only three points separate number five to eight with Springs Old Boys occupying the first mentioned position and United sitting on eighth.
