The matches are being played at five venues Westridge, Eaglesvale, Prince Edward, Churchill and Old Hararians.
“The standard of cricket was good and most of the players have improved.
“We have no winners at the festival though we use it as part of our selection process for our national age group teams and it is an important event for the players.
“Our objective is to spread the game, increase participation and development and we were happy with the turnout,” said Singo.
The festival has more than 58 schools taking part and include teams from the five centres of excellence in Glen View and Budiriro.
Some of the schools taking part include Glen View One, Goromonzi, Bindura Select, Churchill, Milton, Gifford, Mutare, Hillcrest, Marondera, Chinhoyi High, Jameson, Westridge, Victoria High, Klye College, Prince Edward and Eaglesvale.
The festival is played annually in the capital.
