Cricket development spreads to Bitou
As part of the South Western Districts Cricket Board’s (SWDCB) development plan, emphasis has been placed on the development of Black African cricketers in the province.
It has only been four seasons since the SWDCB has been running the programme.
Both Thembalethu Cricket Club and Bongolethu Cricket Club finished third in their respective promotion leagues in both seasons.
Thembalethu has participated in the T20 competition and made it to the second phase of the competition. The completion of facilities in Thembalethu, Bongolethu and Kwanonqaba is also a huge step forward in the quest to increase interest in the game.
The SWDCB has now targeted its third demographic area in Mossel Bay, showing the board’s commitment in developing cricket in the Black African communities. The extension of the programme to Bitou (Plettenberg Bay) is also part of the planning process for the 2012/13 season
