Pridwin Preparatory School hosted a successful cricket festival
Pridwin Preparatory School's cricket festival was hosted over three days.
The Festival was the Independent Schools Cricket Festival which was hosted at Pridwin and was not discouraged by the rain.
Head of marketing and communications, Susie Kirk said they were 10 schools participating, two from Zimbabwe and one from Zambia.
“This annual festival has taken place for over 30 years at different venues throughout South Africa, with an emphasis on touring teams participating rather than the local teams that schools play regularly. The 10 teams participating in this year’s festival included Clifton Preparatory, Nottingham Road, Waterkloof House Preparatory School, St Charles College, Woodridge Prep, St John’s Harare, Cowan House, Whitestone School from Zimbabwe, Musikili Primary from Zambia; Beaulieu Prep and the hosts, Pridwin.”
Kirk added that the sports field was renamed to Simelane Oval to honour an old learner who passed away.
She concluded that the festival was played by boys in grades six and seven playing cricket to test their sports abilities by playing with other schools who are all on the first team.
