TuksCricket : Two trophies in the bag for Tuks 1

Posted on March 15, 2011



Playing a ruthless brand of cricket Tuks 1 has shown its dominance in the league by claiming the title with still two games to go.

“We have been unbeaten thus far with 23 wins, but we are still looking for 25 out of 25. Winning the league means Tuks 1 will now participate in the National Club Championships in Pretoria in September 2011. Tuks have only won this tournament once in 2004,” commented TuksCricket Technical Director and Head Coach, Piere de Bruyn.

“This is a very special day so enjoy the taste of victory for as long as you can” was his words to the players in the change room afterwards. When asked who had won the league before, only one player could put his hand up and he’d won it with another club. It is truly a special achievement for Tuks Cricket. The combined Tuks 1 & 2 side is also still playing in the semi-final of the unofficial 20/20 competition on Thursday night, so could it be three out of three for TuksCricket?
