The Northern Cape Heat has enjoyed one of their most successful seasons to date by winning the CSA 2nd Division Four Day Cup and coming 2nd in the CSA Division 2 One Day Cup. The Heat vying for the ‘Double’ until the last day of the season just missed out by losing in the final.
The Heat can celebrate the success and are top of the Promotion/Relegation stakes going into season 2. The Heat are on 25 points, narrowly followed by the Tuskers and Six Gun Grill SWD.
Coach Mark Charlton had this to say; It’s fantastic to finish in top position in the 2021/22 season and we are all very proud of the achievements however we are aware of the massive task ahead next season. The quality of cricket played by all the sides was impressive and we are expecting more of the same.
“We, at Northern Cape Cricket, are very delighted at the performances of our HEAT team during this past season in both the Four day and One Day competitions. Credit must go to coach Mark, his support team and the HEAT Team for all their hard work they put in during this past season. Presently, the Heat has begun planning for next season and will have a short break followed by a strength and conditioning period. We are extremely proud of the Heat team and are very confident that our team will achieve similar results next season.” Shaheed Alexander, Cricket Services Manager.
