The Howick High School Junior A Cricket team participated in the inaugural Curro Hillcrest Community Cup.
Howick's campaign started with a win, chasing down 161 runs posted by the hosts Curro Hillcrest. Their second game was against Hillcrest High School who posted 138 runs which Howick was able to overcome losing just 4 wickets. Their final game of the round robin stage was against Kloof High School. Howick managed to restrict them to 121 and chipped away at the target, winning by 9 wickets.
After winning three from three Howick were up against Hillcrest High school in the final. Howick began well with a 65 run opening stand between Kiyaal Ramroop and Treyson Wilby. This paved the way for Captain Troyden Wilby, who delivered some glorious boundaries to finish the innings at 170 for 4. In reply Hillcrest managed to get 98 runs with the Howick bowlers doing an excellent job to finish off the game and take home the trophy, winning by 71 runs.
Special mention is made of Kiyaal Ramroop who had an outstanding tournament taking the 'Best Batsman' and the 'All Rounder' awards.
We congratulate the team who were true ambassadors for Howick high school. Age Quod Agis!
