GRAAFF-REINET CRICKET NEWS - Graaff-Reinet celebrated the arrival of the cricket season by hosting teams from as far afield as Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth during the Montego T20 Annual Cricket Challenge from Friday 13 September until Sunday 15 September.
The talented teams gave local cricket lovers an exquisite taste of what to expect this season, and spectators were glued to their seats.
Mossel Bay Cricket Club walked away as the League Champs when they beat the highly-rated Jendermark Cricket Club from PE in the final. The match was on scale right to the end. Players, spectators and administrators were welcomed with true Graaff-Reinet hospitality, which is likely to ensure their return to the town.
