South Africa Tour Update 🇿🇦🩷
Two great wins today against teams from Khayelitsha Township 🏏
It was also a day for reflection. Seeing firsthand the challenges this community faces reminds us how much we have to be thankful for back home, and also highlights the incredible impact of this charity.
In 2018, we brought two boys’ squads to the township to donate equipment. At that time, their cricket pitch was a barren area covered in stones and broken glass. Fast forward to today, and our girls played on the same facility, which now has an artificial surface the size of a cricket pitch.
All of this equipment has been donated to The Catch Trust charity in Khayelitsha, the largest township in Cape Town.
A huge thank you to our players, parents, and clubs for your incredible generosity and support!🙌🏻

Visited the remarkable @CATCH_Trust today in the township of Khayelitsha.
@Gary_Kirsten and the team, supported by the @_MCCFoundation, have built training facilities in one of the poorest areas in the Western Cape to support hundreds of young cricketers. Incredible work.

And a special bravo 👏🏼 to @ChrisAustinFCDO @ukinsouthafrica who made a wonderful donation to @CATCH_Trust after he spotted while umpiring in #Khayelitsha over the weekend that one thing any game of cricket needs is a scoreboard… – at Cape Town, South Africa

My favourite bit of this evening’s event was when some of the girls enrolled on the @CATCH_Trust @_MCCFoundation empowerment programme ended up in fits of giggles trying to teach @norcrosscricket how to pronounce “Gqeberha” 😁

The final took place on Sunday and was a hotly contested affair. Following 40 overs of high quality cricket a team from Khayelitsha were victorious against Mitchell's Plain (a neighboring township). #CricketTwitter
