All leagues and competitions are well underway and the work that coaches put in during the off season, will be evident as players show- case their skills and training on the field. There is no better practice than playing and this affords coaches the best opportunity to coach, being able to give real time feedback on the work put in leading up to the game, once the questions have been asked on the field. The 2019-2020 season has many questions hanging over it as a change in the system and pipeline at the top end is imminent. What the knock-on affect of this through the pipeline is going to be, is hard to tell, but there is much excitement in the region as SWD will be taking part in the new top tier of cricket in the professional era. The SWD Board of Directors took a decision to move the headquar- Inside this issue ters to George in line with this and so there is a lot to look forward to in the coming years.

He put in a lot of hard work to develop the women's game in the region and he will be missed! SWD Women's cricket is growing, and growing healthily. More and more clubs are beginning to include women's teams in their set ups, following CSA’s Presidential Plan vi- sion and this has opened the doors for more women to play the game in our region. The SWD Women's squad has been hard at work preparing themselves for their first game which will kick off against EP in Oudtshoorn, at the Recrea- tion Ground on 19th October, followed by a game against the Border Women's XI in East London on the 23 Novem- ber. Interim Coach, Elridge Booysen has done a fine job of man- aging two programs whilst a suitable candidate is found to take over from Shaun, and his side with a number of talent- ed young players will be keen to start the season well Three SWD Women's players in CSA T20 Super League Three SWD Women's players were selected to take part in the Inaugural CSA T20 Super League. Two rounds will be played with the top players from the women's competition taking part alongside Protea Women's Squad players. The first round took place in September and our players did us proud! This is a great initiative by CSA to further develop and enhance the women's pipeline.
