*Curtain Comes Down On Stragglers Junior Cricket Week* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ms The curtain came down on the week-long Stanbic Bank-sponsored Stragglers junior cricket development extravaganza on Friday with over 500 junior cricketers enjoying top-notch cricketing tips. The Stragglers Cricket Junior cricket programme resumed with a bang on Monday after a two-year COVID19-induced break as the budding cricketers aged between 9 and 12 years old played a game a day in an unprecedented exposure to all-round cricket in which all players get to bat and bowl. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- Stragglers Cricket Chairperson, Winn Ives, hailed Stanbic Bank for propping up the week-long event over the years to date, saying the institution’s gesture to provide venue hire funding, t-shirts, caps and balls as well as meals for the cricketers was a financial relief on preparations. Said Ives: > We commend Stanbic Bank for offering full support for all the development sides from Glen View, Chitungwiza, Bindura and Shamva. > They are only coming here with their equipment while everything else is provided by the bank. We cannot thank Stanbic bank enough. She said it was good to be back after a two-year break adding that the same format in which all the cricketers were given opportunities to bat and bowl continued giving the players maximum exposure to all cricket styles. One of the coaches of the development sides from Glenview, Jeffrey Makoni said he was grateful for the exposure his cricketers received. Makoni commended the format in which cricketers from elite schools mix and mingle with those from high-density suburbs and are drafted into the same teams bringing a spirit of camaraderie to players from different walks of life. Makoni said: > This is an experience of a lifetime for our players who get to play on top-quality pitches and get to rub shoulders with students of other races. > Nothing can take this experience from them and all thanks to Stanbic Bank who made sure that they are properly kitted. The coach for another development side from Bindura and Shamva in Mashonaland Central, Lazarus Ruzawi echoed Makoni’s sentiments saying their pitches in Bindura left a lot to be desired and getting to play in the lush green lawn was a dream come true for the cricketers. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
