"We have created a vibe at Boland Park over the past season which entices not only regular cricket supporters, but also new converts to cricket," he said. 

"We are going all-out to ensure that the match will be another safe and memorable event. The support for cricket from the community in the wider Boland area has been phenomenal and we are very humbled by it.
