Midrand cricket back on the field
OLIFANTSFONTEIN – The Midrand and Tembisa Cricket Club carried their fruitful relationship and hosted a small friendly match on 14 February.
Midrand Cricket Club hosted Tembisa Cricket Club for a small Valentine’s Day friendly match on 14 February.
Chairperson for the Midrand club Tshoko Moloko said, “In all honesty, it’s almost a year of no organised amateur cricket. The virus has had its own impact on the sporting fraternity as the world now waits for the vaccination roll-out.
“Cricket clubs have had to dig deeper to keep things going as union cricket will only be resuming in October. As such, Midrand Cricket Club has teamed up with Tembisa Cricket Club to keep the games alive.
” It might not be cricket with variety but friendlies have been played against the two sides since November. Most recently on Valentine’s Day, Midrand Cricket Club almost pulled of a surprise win against their highly-rated opponents.”
Moloko compared the teams’ friendlies to the Ashes series with both clubs going head-to-head with heart-stopping moments.
The Tembisa team has been able to reap the benefits of recruiting new players from the Midrand club who have proved themselves as a home for development.
Moloko concluded, “Under the new captaincy of Sean January, Midrand Cricket Club is looking to better their second-place finish last season. “With the addition of a few new faces and the experienced players, exciting times lie ahead.”
