Western Province Woman's cricket Captain Olivia Anderson says despite winning the National Women's Provincial A Section league they are not light years ahead of the rest of the country.
Anderson and her squad competed against eight other teams from around South Africa for the coveted trophy. This is the third time in four years Western Province has taken the title.
The team topped the log with Boland finishing in third place. Anderson! says their success is due to the great club structure that Western Province have in place.
"In the Western Cape we have a better club structure, for instance in Gauteng. As far as I know they do not have any clubs that play women's cricket. In the Western Cape we have four or five sides that play every second weekend."
It was Gauteng who beat the Women's side in their first game of this year's campaign but their game against local rivals Boland, at the start of this year where they gathered momentum for final stretch. This led to them winning five of their seven games.
Anderson says they worked hard on and off the field as they gunned for glory.
"We all benefit from time in the middle and our coach Nazeem Smith has done a lot of work with us in terms of fitness training and agility. Our side is coming together quite well and everybody is contributing as apposed to having one or two superstars."
