Club cricket in the Garden Route is gearing up for action
Club cricket in the Garden Route is gearing up for action in the upcoming year, with teams returning to the field across all SWD leagues this weekend.
The Premier League clubs will be missing their designated professional players as the Garden Route Badgers prepare to host the Northern Cape Heat in a crucial CSA 4-Day Competition clash in Oudtshoorn this weekend.
Despite most clubs having completed four games already, the Premier League remains highly competitive. George, currently in third place, is only four points behind the leading Pacaltsdorp United.
As the new year kicks off, Knysna Cavaliers find themselves in second place, trailing Pacaltsdorp by three points. They are set for a top-of-the-table showdown with Pacaltsdorp on Saturday. Plett Pioneers, currently in sixth place, will face the bottom-ranked Harlequins Forces.
In Pool B of the Promotion League, Sussex is leading the pack, closely followed by Thembalethu and Bongolethu. Pirates United are in fourth place, just five points behind the top spot.
