GARDEN ROUTE CRICKET NEWS - The Coca-Cola® All-Star team completed a dream weekend with a hard-fought win against a Cricket South Africa (CSA) Hub team in a curtain raiser to the 2019 Coca-Cola® Schools T20 Challenge National Finals in Pretoria.
SWD’s Jedhli van Briesies from Langenhoven Gymnasium in Oudtshoorn was selected for the Coca Cola All Star team.
Van Briesies also represented the SWD U18 team during the Coca Cola Khaya Majola week in 2018. Van Briesies came through the Hub development programme, in which his talent was spotted at the D'Almeida hub in Mossel Bay.
A cricket bursary was subsequently offered to him by Langenhoven Gymnasium. "We are proud of his development and progress and we see him as part of our future," said Jason Maswanganyi, the SWD Academy and U19 coach.
"We look forward to his continuous progress and development as a cricket player," concluded Maswanganyi.
The Coca-Cola® Schools T20 Challenge took place from 15 to 17 March at the University of Pretoria’s High Performance Centre.
