The young talented cricketers at Generation Schools Imhoff capped off their last school semester by looking back at their victories on Tuesday 25 November.
The school’s Mini Cricket teams have enjoyed a near perfect season with their u-9 team winning four of their five matches.
“Our u-8 team, many of whom played their first competitive matches, showed fantastic growth and finished the season on a high with a confident all-round performance in their final game,” said school spokesperson, Caronne Vermaak.
The school’s most recent victory was at home against Ukanyo Primary School.
The u-8s won by 10 runs and the u-9s won by 47 runs.
The teams have played against Reddam House Primary School, Bay Primary School, Sun Valley Primary School, Paul Greyling Primary School and Ukanyo Primary School.
“This term has been incredibly special for our Mini-Cricket teams. Watching our u-8s take their first steps into competitive cricket—with courage, excitement, and so much growth—has been a real joy. Our u-9s played with heart, teamwork, and determination, showing just how much they’ve matured as young players,” said coach Lionel Farao.
Seeing each learner bring their own energy and spirit to the game, and seeing their confidence and love for cricket grow has been the highlight of the term, he added.
Fellow cricket player Alek Mugge-Breedt said he had a lot of fun this cricket season.
“Even though he is a key batsman, his favourite part of the game was fielding, and he enjoyed being out on the field with his teammates,” said Vermaak.
Bowler Nathan Potgieter said he really enjoyed the season and is especially proud that his team won so many games.
