In the heart of the Robertson region, weekend cricket is more than just a game — it’s a powerful tool for community building and youth development. Dedicated community leaders like Griet Tiras, from the farm LeChasseur, are making a remarkable impact by keeping local youth engaged, active, and off the streets through sport.

Despite limited resources and funding for essential cricket gear such as balls, bats, apparel, and gloves, Griet and her team of organizers continue to run local competitions that bring the community together. Their tireless efforts have inspired many and strengthened the bonds within the region.

Recognizing this valuable contribution, the Battery and Energy Storage Conference for Africa (BEASFA.COM) has proudly stepped in to sponsor the much-needed cricket apparel for the teams. This partnership reflects BEASFA’s ongoing commitment to community upliftment and social development across Africa.

In the 2025 season, The Brisbane Heat, led by Griet Tiras, achieved an impressive second place in the finals — a well-deserved accomplishment for a team built on passion, teamwork, and community spirit.

BEASFA extends heartfelt congratulations to The Brisbane Heat and applauds Griet Tiras for her unwavering dedication to empowering youth through sport. As part of its broader mission, BEASFA will continue to support initiatives like these that foster growth, inclusivity, and opportunity in local communities.
