Keeping the lights on

A bit of housekeeping

I hate this part of the job, that’s why I try to avoid it as much as possible. But, it’s something that must be done.

I want to tell you little known background titbits about Donovan Ferreira or Dewald Brevis and I also want to tell you about an exciting youngster from Paarl. I want to tell you about the player who is playing varsity cricket while patiently waiting for his chance with the Colts and I want to tell tell you about the future stars.

I want to give you updates on players who went down to Division 2 to get more game time and I also want to tell you about the youngster who went directly from school cricket to Division 1. Cricket has prodigies and slow cookers. Each one has a story that should be told. I love doing that.

I love digging up those stories. I think that’s why most of you read Beyond a Boundary. I want to keep Beyond a Boundary going and growing for many years to come. However, it costs money to do so. I spend a lot of time chasing players, parents, siblings, coaches, teammates, and former teammates. All of them help with vital information.

This is work that requires time and money to execute. Both of which I could have if Beyond a Boundary was generating some sort of income. At the moment, it doesn’t. I take what I earn from other gigs and pour into this publication. With your help, we can try to balance the scales a little bit.

There are two ways that you can do this, you can either Buy Me A Coffee or Become a Patron. Readers who choose to Buy A Coffee often use it as a once off option, while those who choose to be Patrons donate a certain amount monthly. If you can afford it, please pick one of the two.

Thank you for your time and for your support of Beyond a Boundary over these five years! And thank you for helping spread the word about this corner of the cricket space to all your family, friends, and social networks! Word of mouth is a huge, huge part of what can help Beyond a Boundary to keep growing and going along.
