The final round of the Logan Cup competition is to be played this coming weekend, with Mashonaland, who play the CFX Academy, virtually assured of the championship, quite possibly by winning all five of their matches as they did last season. Unfortunately we have not yet received an updated table from ZCU. There was to have been a great finish to the season with an Australian tour, just the boost Zimbabwean cricket-lovers would have longed for to take their minds off these difficult times, but the Australians considered politics (however futile their aim) to be of greater importance, and the ICC compiled.

With no action in Harare and the main performers of the drawn match last weekend between Manicaland and Matabeleland unavailable for interview in Harare, this is a brief issue. We plan two more issues this season, as we should be able to interview a number of players at the Mashonaland-Academy match this weekend. In this issue we have updated the biography of Matabeleland's Wisdom Siziba. Larry Moyo reports on the close of the club cricket season, and we have been given approval to include the official reports of the recent Under-16 tournament by the organizer and Matabeleland team manager Richard Harrison.
