Alberton indoor cricket boys bag their first provincial colours
After three months of practice as an established indoor cricket club, the Southern Gauteng Stingers U11 boys received their provincial colours title.
Meyersdal Action Sports Arena hosted the 2022 Inter-Provincial Indoor Cricket Tournament for the Little League IPT from June 25 to 29.
The Southern Gauteng Stingers, popularly known as Stingers, a team made up of 11 boys from Alberton, competed in the U11 division.
After numerous games in the tournament, the Stingers advanced to the finals. They played a nail-biting final game against the Mpumalanga U11 team.
The Alberton boys lost by 10 runs to Mpumalanga, who scored 96 runs, while the Stingers scored 86 runs.
The boys only started playing indoor cricket three months ago with the help of two coaches, Shaun van Wyk and Leon van Rensburg, and they have all been awarded their provincial colours for indoor cricket.
They also had the best overall record of any Southern Gauteng team across all age levels.
“They all played like champions and we are extremely proud of them,” said a supporter.
