Celebrating the rich heritage of Cricket at the Wynberg Boys' Schools The Cape Town premier division club circuit is dominated by Old Boy representation too.
A brief history
Wynberg is proud of its reputation as an icon of South African, if not world, schoolboy cricket. The History of a School (1961) by DH Thompson credits Mr Lloyd, a popular master at Wynberg during the 1880s, with establishing cricket as an institution. He used to hold lunchtime coaching sessions which would conclude with him having a knock against the schoolboys. Legend has it that
