Whilst the day started a little chilly, the national season opening for the youth Kampong proved to be a very well attended and successful event.
Led by members of both the men’s and women’s national selection, 70 children started the morning with all kinds of different exercises through a circuit of six activity stations, using the popular Cricket Factory equipment. Coaching the young people were: Mudassar Bukhari, Pieter Seelaar and Stephan Myburgh of the men’s team, and Miranda Suspension Meier, Hannah Hofman, Clare Crewdson and Sasa Bruning of the national women’s selection. After the morning session and lunch, the children got to ask the internationals present questions in a press conference style. One of the favourites of the day was to Bukhi, ‘have you ever hit someone in the crowd with a ball?” The young person had obviously watched Bukhi hit the ball for 6 on many occasion.
In the afternoon the group was split into old and young, and matches were played fanatically.
The Dutch youth cricket is ready for summer, with the competition starting Sunday, May 5th!
