“The pre-schools played among each other.
“There were home games and away games.
“The total of all runs in all the games played determined the winners,” said Phele.

“Mragi was awarded for being the best bowler and batsman and for being the coach in the absence of the coach.
“Katleho was awarded for being the best fielder.
“Reneilwe was awarded for being the best bowler as well and for coaching,” said Erasmus.
