Quotes In the past, it was about just staying up, but now the language has changed. It’s far more positive. We’ve worked hard to build a winning culture, and winning becomes a habit. That’s what we want to carry forward. We shouldn’t just be competing; we should be dominating in the sporting arena. As a team, we set out to win all three trophies, and we managed to achieve that. It shows the depth we had, especially with injuries and players being called up. Those are really encouraging signs for the future. Next season isn’t about survival in Division One – it’s about competing at the highest level and winning trophies. That’s the environment and mindset we’re focused on maintaining We’ve brought in a lot of young players and new faces, which is exciting. They bring different skills, perspectives, and energy. Everyone adds their own ingredient, and at the end of the day, we want to feast together as a team. It’s a young squad, but we’ve got time to build over the next couple of seasons. From what I’ve seen, they’re more than capable of thriving in Division One. There’s a lot to play for in Free State cricket right now. It’s definitely on the rise, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes us over the next season or two. I can’t wait to get going again – and I’m proud to still be playing in the blue and orange Moving to Division One will definitely bring new challenges, but it’s something everyone is looking forward to, and we’re ready for it. We’re not going in just to compete, we want to win trophies. That’s the mindset. Even from the outside, after just one season, the amount of talent and potential in Bloemfontein is incredible – not just in cricket, but across all sports.
