Western Province kick off the new cricket season against North West Dragons in Potchefstroom in the One Day Cup on Saturday at 1pm.
And captain Kyle Verreynne is convinced that they can repeat last year’s heroics in this tournament by reaching the final and possible go one better this time around.
Taking the field in Potch on Friday minus George Linde, David Bellingham and Dane Paterson who are all still in the UK, Verreynne says: “We made it to the final last year and had a really good one day campaign. But it’s a new season, a new competition and we’re starting fresh.
