The Momentum Friendship Games kicked off 2018 in style with Kearsney College hosting a double header on Wednesday, taking on the Standard Bank Chatsworth RPC in under 15 and under 18 matches. Both teams featured players who took part in the Momentum National Schools weeks last December. Although Kearsney won both the matches, the Chatsworth RPC were certainly competitive. Late last year, the inaugural Friendship games – which are essentially the partners’ efforts at up-skilling CSA’s development Hubs and Regional Performance Centres (RPCs) by getting them to play against traditional cricket schools – were a success in Johannesburg, Kimberley, Port Elizabeth and Potchefstroom.
The games are a partnership between Cricket South Africa and Momentum, who plan to expose youngsters from previously disadvantaged areas to top quality cricket against the traditional cricket playing schools.
