SWD CRICKET NEWS - South Western Districts Cricket recently received an important financial injection from the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) with a grant of R600 000.
According to Albertus Kennedy, SWD Cricket Chief Executive Officer, was this allocation awarded based on the last application as submitted.
The funding is making provision for specific projects that include capacity building for the development of clubs, training of administrators, coaches and technical officials, domestic travel participation costs as well as for the participation, organizing and transport of local leagues.
Funding was also allocated for skills development programs.
"The allocation is aimed to assist with programs covering all the geographical areas in the province and is greatly welcomed in times where income revenue streams remain very important to promote cricket programs."
Over the past decade, SWD Cricket benefited from various Lotto projects including an allocation eight years ago that allowed the union to construct the office complex, clubhouse and dressing room facilities at the Recreation Ground in Oudtshoorn.
