Teams for the 2026 Peninsula Cricket Festival
A quick glance through the teams set to contest the Peninsula Cricket Week from Wednesday is eye-opening. These are, mostly, very experienced teams.
They represent many of South Africa’s leading cricket-playing schools, with proven performers at the 1st XI level, and plenty of players with provincial experience within their ranks.
Five Western Cape powerhouses – Bishops, Wynberg, Rondebosch, SACS, and Paul Roos Gimnasium – tackle KwaZulu-Natal‘s Hilton College and St Charles College; Affies, Waterkloof, and Pretoria Boys High, from The Titans; St Stithians, from Central Gauteng; and the North West‘s Potchefstroom Gimnasium.
