Randburg and Wanderers CC have for many years been the strongest teams in women’s cricket, often competing against each other for silverware.
The chairperson of Wanderers Women’s Cricket Carryn Bell Croukamp said spectators could expect thrilling games, a lively atmosphere, and a strong community spirit as all the participating teams continue to champion women’s cricket.
“We are also strengthening the bonds between both clubs by piloting an initiative with the Central Gauteng Lions Cricket Umpires Association. This will see representatives from the women’s sections at both clubs forming a team to play a T20 against the umpires who take charge of their regular season matches.”
This initiative is aimed at growing and strengthening the bonds between the players and the umpires through the game.
