Kofi Apea-Adu, head boy of Louis Trichardt High School and a keen cricketer, played for the Titans this year.

“It was the highlight of my cricket ‘career’ so far. I have gained a lot of experience, especially from the four U/19 World Cup players who played on my side,” said Kofi on his return from the Titans week from 2 to 8 January. He played for the Titan Cubs, which is the Titans' U/19 team.

Kofi was the youngest player in the team. They competed, among others, against the Lions, Warriors, Cobras and Knights. Kofi is mainly a bowler and felt that the Titan-experience improved his bowling.  He batted at number seven for the Titans.

Kofi was selected for the Titan Cubs after the provincial U/19 tournament hosted in Potchefstroom from 16 to 21 December last year. Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Easterns and Northerns from Pretoria competed.

In 2011, Kofi was selected for the South African U/17 cricket team.

“This year is a big year for cricket. Another set of provincial trials is coming up. Hopefully, I can play for the Titans again,” said Kofi, who dreams of playing cricket and studying business management next year when he has completed Grade 12.
