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.

  • Pite Van Biljon
    Pite van Biljon New Brighton Cricket Club is about to welcome our 2021 overseas professional player Pite van Biljon. Pite is South African, is 35 years old, is married with a young daughter. He plays cricket for Free State and Proteas. He’s a right handed batsman, right arm medium bowler and also a wicket keeper but has hardly donned the gloves for the sides he has played for. In February 2020 he made his T20i debut with the South Africa cricket team against Australia in Johannesburg. Since then he’s been selected another nine times, playing against England & Pakistan. An interesting fact about the family is that his sister Suzaan is an Olympic breaststroke swimmer having represented South Africa at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics. She finished 7th at the 2012 London Olympics, making her the only female South African swimmer to make a final that year. She retired in 2013 as the African Record holder in the 200 long course breaststroke, with a 2:23.21 done at the 2012 Olympics, as well as the 100 and 200 in short course breaststroke. It was whilst on a day off from playing I was able to have a chat with Pite on WhatsApp. He wrote a short bio of himself and kindly answered a few questions that some of the members had asked. Here in his own words is his short bio: “I’ve always played cricket but hockey was my real love. I was probably much better in hockey than cricket. I got a bursary to go and study at the University of Pretoria, where I did Bcom law.
