Aiden van Wyk from Selborne College has
been named the Coca-Cola Hero of the Day for day 1 of the Coca-Cola Schools T20
Challenge.
The prestigious Coca-Cola Hero of the Day
award is presented on each day of the tournament in recognition of a game
changing ‘hero’ moment. Aiden was selected for the award by a Coca-Cola
appointed panel of cricket experts after taking 6/13 in his match against
Prestige College.
“I am happy that I helped my team win the
game. It is a team effort and each individual performance is combined to help
the team reach their goal to win the match,” said Aiden after he received his
reward.
“Taking 6 wickets in a T20 match is an
unbelievable effort that does not happen every day. Aiden is only 15 years old,
hopefully we will see some more stellar performances from him in the near
future,” said Coca-Cola Hero of the Day lead judge Robin Peterson.
Aiden is now in line for the accolade of
Coca-Cola Hero of the Tournament which will be announced on the 26th
March 2017.
Fetsi
Mbele, Coca-Cola Southern & East Africa’s Senior Communications Manager:
Brand Experience commented, “The Coca-Cola Schools T20 Challenge is Where
Heroes Are Made. For Aiden this is
hopefully just the beginning of a future in the game. On behalf of Coca-Cola I extend my
congratulations, I can’t wait to follow his career going forward as he works
towards becoming a hero of South African cricket. ”
