Macassar only joined the league for the first time this year but there is certainly some great cricket talent and I give fair warning to the other teams in the league that Macassar will have a competitive team in this years Street Cricket Finals on the 26^th of November which is a day before the Proteas take on England in a One Day International at Newlands. The Macassar league is being coordinated by 2 extremely passionate sportsmen, John and Lewellyn who run the Helderberg Athletics Academy. I commend them on their passion and am glad to have them as part of the Sporting Chance team.

Khayelitsha was my next stop on Friday and as always they did not disappoint. The streets were filled with girls and boys playing cricket and the community support was great to see. 

I look forward to Friday 13^th November to head out for some more Street Cricket action and will be sure to give a full report on all the action at the regional finals of all 12 regions on the 20^th November 2009

 This is the second year Masiphumelele has been involved in the Annual Street Cricket league and the atmosphere was something not to be missed. Those not participating were lining the streets cheering the teams on, the coaches were filled with enthusiasm and support for the children and the cricket talent was in abundance.

After Masiphumelele I headed out to Ocean View were the Streets were covered with children in yellow t-shirts all excited at the prospects that their team could join the other regions at the Street Cricket Final in Langa. It was great to see the support from the community and the resident DJ playing some great tunes to keep the spirits high.

The co-ordinators in the other regions assured me that week 2 went well and that the competition is hotting up. I look forward to week 3 in the various regions and wish all the teams luck in the upcoming week.
