Describe your business...
Somerset West Cricket Club is located on the foot of the Helderberg with the Hottentots Holland Mountain range in the distance. A gorgeous setting for cricket - described by cricket commentators as the most beautiful for club cricket in South Africa. Also known as "little newlands" hence the mountain in the background.
Club practices are Tuesday and Thursday, from 17h15 - 19h00. All welcome!
