\nWP made 154\/2 in just 18.3 overs and they were again the winners.
\nCameron Smook also on the losing team was awarded Man of the match.
\nOnce again, to make thing interesting and even the playing fields, we split the teams up into 2 evenly matched sides.

\nJunior Gold winners of the tournament were Gauteng and Senior Gold winners were WP<\/p>\n
Tuesday was our Chesed day and was in honour of Hugo Paluch (of blessed memory) and was aptly named Hugo\u2019s Warmth. A team of 16 U 13 players from Alex and Soweto joined us for the day. Gauteng had collected 10 cricket bags of reusable equipment while WP kindly transported 2 boxes full of equipment all the way up from Cape Town.
\nDevelopment teams played 16 over matches against each province while the seniors played 8 a side and great fun was had by all and Maccabi made a meaningful contribution to the development teams.<\/p>\n
