In the Premier A League Maties only lost one match. Furthermore, the Victorian (Vics) side secured promotion to the Boland Premier A League by winning the Premier B League – this was set as a very important goal for the 2011/12 season and, as Chairman, I would like to congratulate the coaching staff and all the Vics players for their commitment in ensuring that this goal was achieved. Having two teams in the Boland Premier A League is crucially important to the Club. It ensures that a larger number of highly-talented players play cricket at the highest possible level. Here a special word of thanks and congratulations most go to our new Head Coach, Andrew Wylie, who had an immediate positive impact on the Club and its players and consequently on the performances of all our teams. Andrew was well supported by his assistant coach, Warren Kirsten and our other coach, Leon Roberts – Leon did stirling work with the Second and Third elevens, respectively. Maties further also won the Boland Regional One Day Competition. Vics also won the Premier B 20/20 and Premier B Time Cricket competitions. The Maties II and III sides again performed well, with Maties II winning the Boland First Division. Leenert van Wyk represented South Africa at the Hong Kong Sixes and several Matie players again represented Boland at various levels throughout the season. The season furthermore saw the continuation of meetings with Steinhoff International to strengthen the company’s long-term involvement with the Club. My thanks go to the company and its senior management including Mr Markus Jooste (CEO, Steinhoff International); Mr Danie van der Merwe (CEO, Steinhoff Africa) and messrs Derrik Matthew and Ajee Valentine for their interest and day- to-day support to the Club when and if required. Their professional support and assistance was highly appreciated. It has to be said that, in modern times, a Club like Maties could not perform consistantly and at such a high level without very active, generous and loyal support from a company like Steinhoff International. To them a say “thank you!”. My sincere appreciation goes to all my committee members, namely Messrs André Geldenhuys, André du Toit, Derek Mitchell, Oscar Nauhaus, Alec Brown, Henno Jordaan, John Loxton, Manrich Kotze and Nathan Roberts for their loyal support during the season. 1 A special word of thanks must go the Club’s Head Coach, Andrew Wylie, the Assistant Coach, Warren Kirsten, as well as Leon Roberts who coached Maties II and III and our Fitness coach, Faan Fourie. Everyone contributed greatly to the success of the Club in the past season. A huge note of thanks also to the other personnel responsible for playing facilities, as well as Mr Kallie Daniels for his continued support and service to the Club. Lastly, but by all means least a very big thank you the cricket manager, Andre du Toit. I have had the privilege to work with Andre over a number of years and without his commitment; professionalism and love for the game and its players the Club will not be where it is today; so to Andre I say “baie dankie!” My thanks also go to many former players,other individuals and corporates like Gino’s for their generosity in supporting the Club financially. 2 ERELEDE PRESIDENT : Mnr.

Pre USSA Preparation Due to the time of the year we were fortunate to be able to use club form in the league and amateur form as the basis for our selections. The team then embarked on the first of many changes the new coach Andrew Wylie implemented, a team bonding trip up the west coast. The two days away were spent doing team bonding exercises and jelling the club and provincial players into a unit. Fitness on the beach and strategy sessions at night started the ball rolling for a successful USSA 2011 tournament. Practice facilities were arranged at St Albans College after the flight up to Pretoria were the boys were able to stretch there legs and have a light net before the tournament began in earnest the next day. 3. Transport We flew early on the morning of the 4th of December from Cape Town International Airport to Lanceria. Our Budget rent a car was picked up at the airport and we made our start to Pretoria. The vehicles remained with us for the remainder of the tournament and were returned early on the morning of the 10th of December 2011. 7 4. Accommodation As TUKS were the hosts of the tournament and there hostels are not to be used by visiting teams we were encouraged to use Jacaranda Lodge, where the majority of the other Universities also stayed. The rooms were very small but clean and the food was appetizing. 5. Financial Report Expenditure: Accommodation: R36 360.00 Transport R48 174.00 Dinner: R2 870.00 Totaal: R87 404.00 Income: Club Sponsorship R61 564.00 SU Subsidy R11 760.00 USSA Subsidy R14 080.00 Totaal: R87 404.00 6. Sponsors Steinhoff International is the official sponsor of the team and was very proudly represented by the Maties team. Our thanks must go to them for the addition of our trainer and Physiotherapist Faan Fourie who added valuable knowledge through his specialty fields of Physiology and Physiotherapy. We as the players and management are well aware of the privilege. Thanks to André du Toit, Sidney van Heerden and Steinhoff. 7. Functions A Managers and captain’s meeting was held at the HPC upon arrival. Here the day to day running of the tournament was explained and logistics were discussed. The final Dinner was Held at the Waterloo Country Club. At the function the USSA team was announced and a good time was had by all. Thanks to all that were involved in the event. 8. Results of the tournament Day 1 Steinhoff Maties versus UCT In overcast conditions and on a wicket that we would have bowled first on the toss was lost by Henno Jordaan and we were duly sent into bat. After losing Wickus Van Vuuren early to an indifferent stroke, a beautifully constructed partnership between Henno and Lenert van Wyk was the difference between the sides at the end of the day. There partnership of 114 in challenging conditions was a wonderful balance of attack and defense. Unfortunately on the last ball of the power play Henno Jordaan was dismissed. A flurry of wickets then followed his dismissal and a low risk partnership between Dewald Botha and Omphile Ramela righted the ship and allowed the scoreboard to tick over. There 41 run partnership, laid the platform for the next two batsmen to come in and express themselves. Jean Marias brisk run a ball 24 was built on by the destructive Derek Mitchell who’s 20 off 13 balls allowed the maties to 41 0ff the last 5 0vers and end with a competitive 233. Some inaccurate bowling by our openers allowed UCT to rocket to 48 0ff the first 8 overs.

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.
