“The Colts are the young players of the club and will be playing senior men’s cricket in a year.
“It just proves that the junior cricket at the club is healthy because most of these boys started playing their cricket at SOB” says SOB coach Lionel Joubert.
Joubert says they will not be making any team changes.
They are not yet aware if they will be in the finals but will have found out by Wednesday (after this paper went to print).
On Wednesday they would also find out which team they will be playing against and the venue of the game if they have made it into the finals.
The final will be a one day match played over 40 overs.
SOB have been doing great over the competition and even though they are not aware if they will be in the finals or not, Joubert is extremely hopeful and without a doubt that they will make it to the finals.
