“The real basis of any cricketer’s success has got to attitude, and I want to show how properly used aggression can help any player” – Ian Botham
It was one of the better cricket years for Stellenberg.
● Three trophees made its way to Stellenberg. The U/14 A won the Loydt Buttner league. The U/15 A-side won the PNA –
● For the second year in a row Stellenberg’s first 11 won the Mooiriver, Westonford Agricultural College U/19 tournament. Three games as well as the final were played and was won marginally.
● The U/19 A-team, coached by Gary du Toit and Johan Bezuidenhoudt played in four leagues this year. In the Peter Buttner League Stellenberg won four games but unfortunately lost in the semi-final against HTS Bellville.
● In both the WP Top 20 and the Sammy Bloch limited over competitions the U/19 A team reached the quarter final.
● In the Premier League five game were played.
● The U/14 A-cricket side was also the joint sports team of the year along with the U/14 A netball team. The U/14–A cricket team was unbeaten in duringt the first term of the year.

After the play offs against the Southern Suburbs we made an overall third place. The first team made a third place in the Northern Suburbs.
The summer league is in full swing. Stellenberg A is in a comfortable second place, closely behind De Kuilen.
We are very proud of Ruan Muller, a Grade 11 learner, who was selected for the WP golf team.
