Exciting LastManStands tournament proves a hit

GARDEN ROUTE CRICKET NEWS - Three matches in the LastManStands Cricket Tournament were played in Great Brak River on Sunday, 12 August.

Because of the unplayable, wet pitch, matches were moved from Heatherlands High in George to Great Brak.

Annemaniacs, from Great Brak, managed to beat Mix and Match from Mossel Bay and George Outlaws, after which Alpha Pack, also from Mossel Bay, beat George Outlaws.

In the final match Annemaniacs beat Mossel Bay's Vikings by a small margin.
