Cricket Report

REPORT

The smell of fresh cut grass on Saturday mornings and the excitement for match times after a long day in class, sounds like a good day for it, being cricket season.

The season presented us with awesome individual and team performances across all age groups.

Our U9s are at a crucial stage in learning the game of cricket. The coaches of Pinnacle Sports Education are working with our future stars. In Term 1 and 4 we managed to arrange fixtures for the U9s vs WPPS. Three teams were selected to play, results were not important, but rather the exposure to hardball cricket. Our boys certainly enjoyed being out in the middle, and we continue to encourage them to work on their cricket skills.

At U10 there is massive potential within the age group which is waiting to come alight. This year the season produced a mixed bag of results across the age group, although there were constant signs of improvement within the team dynamics as well as amongst individual players. If these boys can remain focused and enthusiastic about the game of cricket, there is no doubt they will be a force to be reckoned with in future years.

There is a lot of talent and potential in the U11 age group. They are exciting to watch and have showcased a few great all-round performances. Commitment is not an issue with these boys. They always turn up to practice and matches and love getting involved which demonstrates the true Wynberg way. Their maturity with regards to the overall understanding of cricket is improving game by game, which puts us in for a gripping U12 year in 2023.

The U12s show good promise. The understanding of the game is coming together nicely. They have awesome energy and eagerness during practices and matches. A few good individual performances with bat and ball in hand, but most importantly were the contributions from each team player to the overall team’s performance. We look forward to seeing this age group in action next year!

In their final season of representing WBJS, the U13s had their time to shine and showcase what they have learnt over the years. Lessons are learnt in challenging times and in failure. Term 1 was a learning experience, from individual performances to understanding the game and believing in their ability.

The U13A participated in Cape Schools and had the opportunity to tour Johannesburg and play against KEPS, Trinity House and St Peters.

The u13s had a better Term4. In terms of team spirit, comradery and playing for one another. We had hat-tricks, 50s and awesome periods where teams fielded as a unit. We wish them well on the future cricketing journey.
