Fixtures and teams in action at the Peninsula Cricket Festival
The annual Peninsula Cricket Festival, hosted in Cape Town, kicked off this week featuring 10 of South Africa’s cricket powerhouse schools.
The tournament is underway at Bishops Diocesan College and will conclude on Saturday, 13 January.
It’s one of the first cricket festivals of 2024 and an opportunity for teams to either continue their momentum from the previous year or create momentum for an exhilarating summer of school cricket.
The hosts, Bishops are joined by their fierce Southern Suburb rivals, Wynberg Boys’ High, SACS, and Rondebosch Boys’ High.
Hilton College, led by Ethan van Heerden, had a pretty good run in 2023 and topped it off by defeating Michaelhouse in their annual Pink Drive fixture towards the end of the season.
They’re joined by St Charles College, from Pietermaritzurg, who will also fly the KZN flag.
Gauteng is represented at the festival by Pretoria Boys High, Waterkloof, and St David’s Marist Inanda.
Saturday’s fixtures are especially mouthwatering, with Bishops set to tackle Pretoria Boys High, Rondebosch up against St Charles, Wynberg facing Affies, and SACS doing battle with St David’s. It’s a showdown between KZN and Gauteng in the last of the fixtures, with Hilton squaring off against Waterkloof.
