Good to see that Neil Ferreira will play for Harare.He is just 29 with a good FC record.I still think that he can resume playing FC cricket again...

Detective RDS you said something before about possibly becoming a psychic/crystal ball reader as your predictions were coming true. Wasn't Ferreira also on your list? Maybe you can add another feather to your cap if that prediction comes true as well!

The guys from the Victoria Falls team said they were happy to play alongside the likes of Streak and the Rennie's. Sounds like it was a fun little tournament, and it's good that the folks in Bulawayo were able to see some cricket.
