Cricket Boland launch Goldrush Boland Super League.
A partnership between Cricket Boland and Goldrush will see the launch of a new community club-based T20 competition called the Goldrush Boland Super League (GBSL).
The Goldrush BSL will launch on Saturday, 10 March 2024 and consist of 16 teams in the Boland area competing in four pools, including 10 Premier League clubs, four promotion league clubs (to be determined at the end of the current 2023/24 season) and two wildcard teams. The top two teams in every pool will advance to the quarterfinals, culminating in a day/night final at Boland Park on Saturday, 23 March 2024.
Pool A consists of the Krewe from Vredenburg/Saldanha, Darling, Piketberg and Wellington. In Pool B, Paarl, Bergrivier Young Peoples and Paarl East will seek a quarterfinal spot whilst Maties, Van der Stel, Stellenbosch and Vics will compete in Pool C. In Pool D, Robertson, Caledon, Worcester United and Hermanus will fight it out.
The Goldrush BSL’s first round will be streamed live on You Tube, with further details to be furnished on Boland Rocks and Goldrush Online social channels. An exciting element of this new competition is the introduction of the pink ball that has been used for day/night test matches, and which will add some colour to the tournament’s early autumn festivities.
James Fortuin, CEO of Cricket Boland, says “Boland club cricket is excited about the potential of this new competition, and maintain that it will play a vital role in strengthening club cricket in the Boland region. I wish to thank Goldrush for teaming up with us as a brand partner; their partnership is invaluable in realising the goals of this tournament. I have no doubt that the Goldrush Boland Super League will be an aspirational tournament for the players, fans and those watching via live streaming, which is another component and value-add to this tournament”.
Dwain Powell, MD of Goldrush Online, concludes ‘’Goldrush is proud to put our name behind the Goldrush Boland Super League and is excited to partner with Boland cricket. We’re invested in developing Boland cricket as well as the broader community and aim to ensure that the Goldrush BSL spotlights up and coming talent, celebrates excellence and is highly enjoyable for everyone involved. We urge lovers of cricket and the community to fill the match venues, where there will be great prizes and giveaways up for grabs on each match day’.
