Alumni have their say
“Waterkloof-Menlopark derbies always had a different energy to it… obviously a derby brings out a different atmosphere around it so I think the rain SA20 Derby Series is very cool and it will be a massive clash.”
Evan Jones – Matric 2014
Waterkloof
“I have a lot of Grey friends… but we used to get one over them frequently! I was at Grey as well so I have a lot of love for both schools.”
Gerald Coetzee – Matric 2018 & 1st XI captain
St Andrew's Bloem
"Playing cricket at school was where it all started for me. It was an incredible experience that taught me the value of hard work, teamwork, and perseverance.”
Lungi Ngidi – Matric 2014
Hilton
“Hopefully I can be a part of that derby, which is going to be very exciting and has been built up nicely as over the years Pearson has been getting stronger and giving Grey good competition – which is a great thing for Gqeberha.”
Lutho Sipamla – Matric 2016
Grey PE
“When I was at school we dominated Jeppe! Times have obviously changed and I know they won the Schools SA20 title and have a strong side but KES cricket is always strong and I think that match in the Derby Series is going to be great."
Mitchell van Buuren – Matric 2016 & 1st XI captain
KES
“Playing at St Stithians showed me the importance of treating people with respect and creating a positive team culture.”
Wiaan Mulder – Matric 2015 & 1st XI captain
St Stithians
