Thank you to Mr Hutchinson for the years of cricket during which you were our supportive and understanding coach. The Matrics are very sad to be
leaving, but would like to wish the remaining team
members good luck in the forthcoming season.
As a Matric, this is my last year of cricket at VP and
I have been fortunate to share the experiences of the
last five years with a wonderful group of girls.
We have been up against some seriously tough
schools, but our girls never gave up and always
played with everything they had.

A highlight during the year was taking part in the
Sports Extravaganza with my fellow Matrics: Amy
Thompson, Sarah Rijs and Okuhle Ntsababa. Other
Matrics leaving this year are Rochelle Swart, Andisiwe Lubambo, Ruth Barry and Courtney Lewis.
Congratulations to Ashleigh Snuggs for being most
improved player of the year and Okuhle Ntsababa
on being selected as player of the year.
Cricket is often regarded as boring, but when you
are privileged to play with the girls that I have, you
are able to see the value of the sport.
There is so much uncertainty in cricket. One day you
get a hundred, the next day you can be dismissed for
a duck. It makes you become practical about things.
It teaches you to accept both success and failure. I
think I have learnt a lot about life from cricket.
