Bjorn Briggs, coach and director of Last Man Stands, said, "Every player is guaranteed to bat and bowl. It's our first year of running and it's about playing cricket, having fun and meeting new friends."Briggs added, "We would like to do another tournament in December this year. "Matthew Harris of the Highveld Lionssaid, "I think it's fantastic to bring players together who normally wouldn't beinvolved in club cricket." It brings enthusiasm into the game and introduces new players to cricket. Rather than sitting in front of a TV the whole day, the kids can get outside, play cricket and enjoy themselves." It's also about getting them involved in cricket at a younger age; they could be our future cricket stars," smiled Harris.
