ST GEORGE’S College sports director, Mini MacDonald, says all is set for the CABS T20 festival which gets underway this morning with 12 teams taking part.
The tournament will be a three-day event and is expected to run from today until Sunday at the school.
The prestigious festival will this year feature three teams from South Africa and nine local teams.
The teams expected to take part include hosts St George’s College, Churchill, Peterhouse, Prince Edward, St John’s College, Christian Brothers College (Bulawayo), Falcon College, Gateway, St Benedict’s (South Africa), Kingswood College (South Africa) and St Andrew’s ( South Africa). The newcomers to the festival will be Hellenic Academy.
MacDonald said the Twenty20 cricket festival has grown to become one of the most important events on the school’s annual sports calendar.
“The tournament has been so successful that CABS came on board as the main sponsor and the tournament organisers decided to double the participating schools from an initial six schools to twelve,” said MacDonald. CABS managing director, Kevin Terry, said they were pleased to be the title Sponsor of the St George’s T20 cricket festival.
“It has given us the opportunity to promote cricket at the highest level in the schools whilst providing great entertainment to families.
“This partnership, we believe, goes a long way in uplifting the great game of cricket in our community,” said Terry.
