SCORERS 25 YEARS NNIVERSAR A Y VOL. 1 EDITION ONE 2016/2017 SEASON CEO’s MESSAGE I often get asked what we do between April and October – when the cricket season is over. The answer is everything. You might think that this a strange answer, but it is true. The off-season is our busiest time, as this is when we start all the prep work with the new season in mind. From doing important maintenance on all the cricket facilities at Kingsmead and around the Province, to getting our marketing plans finalised, this is a very busy time for all of the staff at KZN Cricket. This is also a time when we go on a recruitment drive to identify and train new Umpires and Scorers, because without these vitally important people, the game just would not function. So while there are no matches being played across the Province on the weekends, there is a hive of activity at Sahara Stadium Kinsgmead – as we work hard to ensure that you all have the necessary support when the new season comes around. Enjoy the time off, remember to stay fit and healthy, so that when the summer comes around you are ready for the challenge of the new cricket season. We hope that you enjoy reading this newsletter. Pete De Wet Chief Executive 25 YEARS NNIVERSAR A Y VOL. 1 EDITION ONE 2016/2017 SEASON MESSAGE FROM THE NEW DOLPHINS’ COACH It is with immense pride, great honour and humility that I took up my post at Kingsmead on 8 June 2016. I was supposed to start on 1 June, but sadly a family bereavement led to me starting my tenure a week late. I apologise for this, but I am sure all stakeholders and staff understand circumstances such as these. It is my passionate belief and mission to give my all to make the Dolphins a humble and very successful team who aim to play an exciting and dominant brand of cricket that promotes the game, excites everyone watching and creates stunning memories. I want to be part of a “Golden Age” of cricket in this historically rich cricketing Province. I want all people to look back and say “Wow, remember that team and the way they played and how they enjoyed it and made us all feel part of the family.” Name: Grant Anthony Morgan We, the Dolphins team, belong to each cricketer and person in KwaZulu- Teams Coached: Pretoria High Natal and we will do our best to make you proud. I am totally committed School Old Boys’ Club, Bloemendaal Club to achieving that goal of creating memories with a winning team that also (Holland), United Cricket Club (PE), Northerns wins peoples’ hearts and souls in the process.

KZN nominations for level 3 for 2016 have to be submitted by 18 July. Those level 2 coaches interested in applying must submit an application to [email protected] by no later than 10 July 2016. KZN then will finalise their nominees and submit to CSA who then will advise KZN who has been accepted. Those who have been accepted will have till 15 August to confirm their availability. Travel expenses will be for the candidate; the rest will be covered by CSA. A point to note, if one is coaching U11, U13, U15 it is not essential for a level 3 unless looking to coach a Provincial team. Good luck for the winter. • LEVEL 3 PRACTICALS FOR 2015 CANDIDATES IS 02-05 AUGUST. STILL TO BE CONFIRMED • THAT WILL BE 02/03 AUGUST • FINAL DATE FOR LEVEL 3 NOMINATIONS IS MONDAY 18 JULY • LEVEL 3 COURSE IS 05-09 SEPTEMBER • THOSE CANDIDATES WHO HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED HAVE UNTIL 15 AUGUST TO CONFIRM Coaching Tip As a young cricketer it is very important to understand one’s strengths and weaknesses, but it is also important to be versatile and adaptable. A point in mind is the Irish win over the Boks this June. No team will prepare to play a Test match with 14 players let alone 13 for 10 minutes. The manner in which those players rose to the occasion was far more than admirable, in fact it was stupendous. To see the right winger at scrums and a front rower defending in the backline with the commitment and tenacity that they did, inspired the rest of the team and eventually took them across the line. In terms of an aspiring cricketer, one can plan and prep in a certain manner, but the situation of conditions and the scoreboard may determine how the individual and or team adapts to it. So one’s preparation is key to success and one must ensure that all bases are covered, whether a batter, a bowler or a wicketkeeper.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

  • Cricket Morkels
    Cricket Morkels Google “MORKEL” to see how overwhelmingly the two cricket brothers, Albie and Morné dominate the listings. There is so much readily available in cricket information sites, youtube and others about these two outstanding players that for our story I shall be brief about their current achievements - which can readily be updated on the internet. If we have a contribution to make, it will be to place them and cricket in context of the broader family. Historically the family has been known for its prowess in rugby (see our story about the Rugby Morkels), but there has been an interest in cricket for over a century. Hendrik Johannes MORKEL (1842 – 1902), uncle of Rugby Springboks Sommie and Dougie MORKEL, was elected in November 1886 as Chairman of the first Cricket Club on the very new goldfields of the Witwatersrand (1, p45). One of his sons was a ‘very fair left- handed bowler (1, p 53). Dougie and his older brother Harry were also good cricketers (1, p52). Two early first class Morkel cricketers were brothers Denys (Denijs) and Raymond MORKEL (1, p53). They were inspired to cricket by their father, William MORKEL (1864 – 1926). From his obituary (1, p27) and the memoirs of J.P. Duminy (2), former Vice-Chancellor of Cape Town University, we know that William was a remarkable sportsman. Born in Somerset West he was a senior public servant and retired to his Windsor farm near Cape Town at Diep River. His keenest interest from his younger days was cricket. He played for Claremont Cricket Club in Cape Town for many years, primarily as a bowler.

A time when full contact sport no longer holds centre stage. It is a passage of time when the art of sport is appreciated over the physicality of competition. Today, latent skills and blossoming talent has a place amongst our youth and the generations to come. It is now the subtle brilliance of deftness, the art of touch, mastery of stroke and pure strategic guile that has turned cricket into the sport of the future. Today cricket is the stage for mental agility and peak physical condition. It is purity of both mind and spirit that produces champions. The re-invention of cricket globally has rejuvenated a desire to master the ultimate game. A sense of camaraderie pursued by both men and women alike. It’s now a passion for gamesmanship, integrity, honesty and fair play. It is a game that can be embraced and played or supported by everyone. We can’t undo the past, but we can shape the future. We do what we do today in cricket, for what will happen TOMORROW.

  • Sport Awards 2015 Foreword
    Sport Awards 2015 Foreword The annual Sports Awards is a highlight of the Western Cape Government’s calendar. The Awards recognise and officially acknowledge the esteemed excellence of sportspeople hailing from the Western Cape. Today, we pay tribute to the exemplary role these individuals have played in the development of sport and motivating others to achieve more. I wholeheartedly thank each sportsperson awarded their prestigious acknowledgement for serving as a beacon of hope to all in the Western Cape. Their perseverance, focus and positive choices have groomed them into significant role-models to whom youth can aspire. Excellence in their respective sporting codes requires dedication, motivation and many hours of practice, but also most importantly support and encouragement from significant others: family, friends, coaches, managers and others. Heartfelt gratitude is expressed to them for their continuous support and encouragement toward our sporting success. Sport Awards 1 History has shown time and again that sport has the ability to bring diverse groups of people together and I fi rmly believe our honoured sport stars personify this notion. They also promote a healthy lifestyle in which they contribute to increasing wellness and safety in the Western Cape and for that I thank you profusely. By celebrating our victories and achievements we create a spirit of goodwill and social inclusivity that ultimately binds us all better together. In closing, a special word of thanks to all the DCAS team players for your hard work, dedication and professionalism in making the Sports Awards a proud occasion.

    1. Introduction and Terms of Reference I was invited by Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation to work on its behalf as it prepared for the hearings for Shell’s proposed Jackpine Mine Expansion and new Pierre River Mine (letter 18 Nov. 2010). Sean Nixon, with Woodward & Company LLP, then provided me with terms of reference to follow in writing an expert report (e-mail letter 21 Dec. 2010): 1. Provide an ethnographic description of the people who now form Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, including an analysis of how traditional band structures differ from those created by virtue of the Indian Act . 2. Describe how ACFN passed on their culture and cultural practices to future generations (e.g., what were their oral history traditions?). 3. Provide a description of ACFN traditional territory or traditional lands, including: a. whether there was a pre-contact (and/or pre-Treaty) concept of ACFN territory, b. the extent to which ACFN moved around within their territory (including: the amount of space required to carry out their traditional activities; the need to be respectful of others’ rights; and the depletion of resources), c. “axes” of ACFN territory (if this concept is relevant to ACFN), d. whether there was any amalgamation of groups (e.g., was there any overlap between local groups and bands through marriage and family connections?), e. whether there was any effect of the formation of a separate First Nation at Fort MacKay on ACFN membership and on its relation to the “southern territories” (i.e., the southern portions of ACFN traditional territory or traditional lands)? 4.
