KZN Cricket – 20/10/2012

19 October, 2012 beet 6

Well I’m starting to get the feeling that come Friday there is such a positive energy build-up amongst KZNers because the weekend is near, that this invariably causes a low pressure cell to develop over the region and as a result by Saturday it’s raining cats and dogs.

Maritzburg College vs Michaelhouse
Hilton vs Westville
DHS vs Glenwood
St Charles vs Clifton

(if anyone has waterpolo fixtures, please feel free to post a comment for inclusion here)…
