Organised by Welwitschia Cricket, a Sub Union of Cricket Namibia, this year’s event is sponsored by Walvis Bay Salt Refiners and will for the first time be known as the Walvis Bay Salt Refiners Coastal Junior Cricket Festival. The festival is dedicated to all junior school-going cricketers (under 11 and under 13) and focuses on cricket development and the promotion of the game whilst also giving young cricketers and coaches the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming school leagues. In 2003 and 2006 the
festival won the International Cricket Council (ICC)’s development awards for the best junior cricket promotional program-development initiative. Many senior Namibian cricket players played their first ever cricket matches as juniors at this festival. Eleven members of the Namibian u/19 squad who participated in the 2014 ICC u/19 Cricket World Cup in Dubai played at this festival in 2007 & 2008. The organsers look forward to this year’s cricket festival and are certain that the new junior faces will make the most of this oppor-
tunity and enjoy the fun. They also hope this festival will again give special memories to all those u/13 players in action for the last time at this festival. This year’s participating teams include Windhoek Afrikaans Privaatskool (WAP u/11 and u/13), Windhoek Gymnasium Private School (u/11 and u/13), !Nara Primary School (u/11), !Nara PS Girls (u/11), Walvis Bay Primary School (u/13), Namibia Girls (u/13), St George’s School (u/13), Pro-Ed Academy (u/11 and u/13) and Combined XI (u/13).
