Varsity College Cricket Club will play Wynberg Cricket Club in Saturday, 5 April 2025’s Western Province Cricket Association first division C T20 final at Newlands.

“We’re just grateful to be part of such a prestigious event. The quality of cricket being played is incredible, and for our club and players to step onto the field at Newlands is something we truly strive for,” said Varsity College Cricket Club chairperson Brent Davids.

“We know it’s going to be tough. It’s going to be head to head, and we’re hoping that the best team performs on the day. We wish Wynberg Cricket Club the best of luck and look forward to an exciting clash.

“This is an incredible opportunity, not just for us but for all the clubs taking part. We’re expecting nothing less than high-intensity cricket, and from our side, we are extremely grateful to be in the final.”
