The spirit of excellence and community were captured at the annual Gugulethu Cricket Awards, at the NY49 sports hall, on Saturday, May 25.
Gugulethu celebrated the outstanding achievement of its players for the 2023/2024 cricket season.
The event was a momentous occasion, bringing together players, club members and the local community members.
While cricket was the topic of the day, Gugulethu also honoured those who had significantly contributed to the sport.
The club’s former chairperson, Gerald Mxolisi Njengele, was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in acknowledgement for his exceptional contributions to township cricket – for Gugulethu Cricket Club and the broader cricket community.
Chairperson at Gugulethu Cricket Club, Vusi Ntoni congratulated all the recipients and the community, as well as the Gugulethu Sports Council, for attending the event.
“The club extends its deepest gratitude to everyone who attended the ceremony and contributed to making it a memorable event. The support from players, their families, and the community is vital to the continued success and growth of Gugulethu Cricket Club,” he said.
“As the season comes to a close, we encourage everyone to enjoy the well-deserved break and look forward to seeing everyone back for the next season. The club remains committed to nurturing talent and fostering a love for cricket in the township,” said Ntoni.
