About



Twelve boys from Norfolk U13's cricket will be touring Cape Town, 12th February – 22nd February 2015. The squad will be travelling with three coaches, their current Team Manager and ex-Norfolk Captain/Coach Paul Newman plus Luke Caswell and Kevin Denmark.


Whilst on tour we will visit many of Cape Town's wonderful sights including Table Mountain, Robben Island and the Cape Peninsula Coast. It is our intention to visit two townships, Langa and Kayelitsha, as well as Baphumelele Children's Home, the charity we are supporting. We will play four cricket matches against local clubs and school teams.

Baphumelele Children's Home

Sadly we were not able to visit the home in Khayelitsha due to safety reasons. So instead a few staff came to visit us at the hotel. Paul explained to our guests how much effort and time we had put into fundraising for the home. He also spoke about how generous local companies and groups had been in donating lots of different items that the children's home needed.


Then Lira and Tammy explained the background and all the projects of Baphumelele Children's home which we all found thoroughly interesting. 






The boys helped move the bags into their car.




Lira said she would send us lots of photos of the donated item being put to very good use.
