Cricket South Africa<\/strong>‘s annual national weeks for boys get underway on 10 December, with the u16 event visiting Pretoria<\/strong> this year.<\/p>\n

Playing at two of the Jacaranda City’s best venues, St Alban’s College <\/strong>and Tuks<\/strong>, 16 regional teams will compete over five days from 10-14 December, contesting five 50-over matches each.<\/p>\n

The regions are divided into two groups based on their performances over the last couple of years, with the promotion and relegation matches, which will determine 2025’s groups, taking place on the last day.<\/p>\n

The Platinum Group<\/strong> clash on the first day at the Tuks Oval between the hosts, the Titans,<\/strong>\u00a0and Boland,<\/strong> from down south, will set the tone for the week. Gauteng will be challenged by one of the dark horses, Eastern Province<\/strong>, on the same day.<\/p>\n

On day two, KwaZulu-Natal supporters will be licking their lips with the province’s sub-unions, KwaZulu-Natal Coastal <\/b>and KwaZulu-Natal<\/strong> Inland<\/strong>, facing off, also on the Tuks Oval. Both will already have a tough encounter under the belt, with Coastal facing Western Province<\/strong> and Inland testing their skills against the Garden Route Badgers<\/strong> on day one.<\/p>\n

Free State,<\/strong> who were relegated to the Gold Group<\/strong> from the Platinum Group in 2023, will aim to open their account on a positive note against Kei<\/strong>. The showdown between Easterns<\/strong> and Mpumalanga<\/strong> is expected to be the highlight of the Gold Group action on day one. They’ll be duelling on Tuks C. Northern Cape<\/strong>‘s challengers will be North West,<\/strong> while a strong Limpopo<\/strong> side faces a serious test from Border<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Matches are scheduled to begin at 09:00 every day.<\/p>\n
