Tough KZN Coastal T20 quarter-finals in store at Kearsney tomorrow
The KZN Coastal section playoffs in the CSA Schools T20 Challenge take place at Kearsney College this Thursday and Friday (30 and 31 January).
The first-round draw has certainly been kinder (on paper) to two of the six KZN10.com focus schools in the greater Durban region than it has been on the other 4.
Thursday morning’s 9am quarter-final matches see Glenwood tackle Westville and Clifton College take on DHS.

The draw for Thursday afternoon’s 1pm quarter-finals reflects Northwood vs Kloof and Kearsney College up against Thomas More College.
A further draw will take place after Thursday afternoon’s quarter-finals are complete, with the names of the winners going into the hat to determine who plays who in Friday’s 9am semi-finals.
The semi-final winners will meet in the KZN Coastal T20 final at 1pm Friday.

The Coastal champions will take on the KZN Inland champs in the Dolphins franchise final at the PMB Oval. The final is scheduled for 27 February.
This may change if sides like Hilton College, who are scheduled to play in the annual Independent Schools Cricket Festival hosted by St Albans College in Pretoria from 26 February to 1 March, qualify for the Dolphins final.
The winners of the Dolphins final qualify to compete for the national title against the other franchise winners.
Last year, first-time Dolphins franchise winners St Charles College were runners-up at the nationals after losing to St Stithians College in the final at Tuks.
To experience is everything. Give Fordoun CEO and Michaelhouse Old Boy Richard Bates a call.
Inland winners The Saints beat Coastal winners Westville in the 2019 Dolphins franchise final last year.
To my knowledge, the Dolphins champions have never won the national final, although I think Maritzburg College – and certainly Hilton College (at least twice) – have been finalists in the past.
