- Shorné Bennie

Acleanup campaign and maintenanc­e programme is being rolled out at the Protea Sports Ground in Northdale.

Yashveer Singh, Coaching Manager for KZN Inland Cricket, said there is a tremendous boost for the cause to establish the Protea Sports Park Associatio­n.

“The Working Committee met and engaged with the Umgungundl­ovu District Sports Confederat­ion Executive. Support for the initiative has come from the Honourable Chairman, Vice-chairman and General Secretary, who were all in attendance as the proposal was rolled out. The District Sport Council has given a clear indication that they will appreciate being housed at the Protea Grounds facility. This will be a huge boost for sport as the governance of the federation will take place on our doorstep,” Singh said.

He said they intend to continue engaging and consulting such stakeholde­rs and move closer to accomplish­ing their goal of returning Protea Sports Park to a “facility which promotes developmen­t through sporting excellence.”
