#Assupol TuksCricket: Outreach project with Soweto Pioneers Cricket Club

Posted on September 16, 2017

On Saturday 16 September, Assupol and Assupol TuksCricket collaborate on a project to assist Soweto Pioneers Cricket Club with the development of their cricket. This was part of Assupol’s sponsorship initiatives with the Club and taking hands with the community of Soweto through the Hugh Masekela Heritage Festival.
 
The Johannesburg based Club brought 17 players, 6 coaches and 6 members from their executive committee for a fun-filled clinic at Assupol TuksCricket for girls and boys of all ages. This day was an incredible opportunity for both Clubs and it really was a day enjoyed by all.
 
Assupol TuksCricket Head Coach, Kruger van Wyk said, “We are very excited to be able to be involved with Soweto Pioneers Cricket Club and we really hope that this is a project that we can take forward to help with the development of their players and the empowerment of their coaches.”
 
The day was also attended by employees from Assupol.  Celest van Niekerk, Head of Marketing and CSI at Assupol, said, “Everyone had so much fun. It was an honour to be tasked with the responsibility of giving the Soweto Pioneers this amazing experience.”
