Expert was proud to be a part of The Sharks Junior Action Cricket League that took place at the Sandton Action Sports Arena during the month November. Teams battled it out over a series of matches from the 7th until the finals and prize giving which took place on the 28th.
During the third week of the tournament the crowd was treated to an exhibition match by the South African National Indoor side as they prepared for the Indoor World Cup in Australia next year. The boys subsequently took part in a coaching clinic run by the SA Side. The boys really enjoyed being able to learn from the best in the sport!
Sean Crommelin the founder of the Sharks Junior League had this to say about Experts involvement with the league:
“This year’s Sharks Junior Action Cricket League was fortunate enough to have Expert on board from a sponsorship point of view. To have bright orange standing out throughout the arena for the past month of November really added an extra tournament feel.
Its always exciting having sponsors involved that who share the same enthusiasm and excitement as we do, and we look forward to having them back next year. I am sure the players of the tournament who were awarded their Samsung Galaxy Fit watches thanks to Expert share the same thoughts”. Expert was ever present during the tournament, with our characteristic orange and white being a fixture at the Arena.
Expert CEO Jonny Aarons was quoted as saying:
“Expert as a company prides itself in giving our customers the widest range of products at the best prices. We also enjoy giving back to the community and the youth of South Africa. The Sharks Junior League is one such initiative that we wanted to get involved in to be able to give back.
Furthermore, we were proud to be able to sponsor Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 watches for the prize winners of the Player of the Tournament for each age group. One of our Expert’s was also on hand to help with the prize giving ceremony which took place at the end of the finals in front of friends and family.
The youth are the future stars of our country and to be able to support them in following their dreams is something that we as a company are extremely proud of. All in all, the tournament was filled with family, fun and a great standard of cricket and we really enjoyed supporting the tournament”.
All in all Expert are proud to be part of such a fantastic initiative!
