The SWD senior cricket team will desperate to improve with their performances in the second half of the season after they missed-out on winning the CSA Limited over competition in December.
In the three day competition the team of Ross McMillan is currently in 10th position (out of 14) at 55.98 bonus points after seven matches in which they only recorded two outright victories. The strong team of North West is the log leaders at 109.46 points after 8 matches. Adrian McLaren (16th at a batting average of 39.22) and Waldo Lategan (18th at a batting average of 37.60) are the only two players that are currently in the top averages. In the past two seasons SWD was a reckoned force in the three day competition.
Gurshwin Rabie, who is not currently considered for the Warriors team in their RAM Slam T20 campaign will be available for the next three matches whilst it is most likely that the wicket/keeper batsman, Brendon Louw, will get a well-deserved opportunity for the Warriors the the T20 series. Glen Addicot and Lonwabo Rodolo both hope to be fit after injuries kept them out of contention for the last two matches but Kobus Scholtz, who is suffering from a shoulder injury, will be unlikely to play again this season.
The SWD will be hoping for some silverware with the CSA T20 competition that will be played in the second half of the season.
