Impalas cricket team

Impalas initially represented Border, Boland, Orange Free State and Griqualand West provinces. These teams played in the Castle Bowl South Africa's secondary first class competition.

Over the ten seasons the team usually finished in lowly positions in the competition's log (table). However, for the 1987–88, 1988–89 and 1991–92 seasons, the Impalas reached the tournament semi-finals.

Initially Impalas played all their matches away. Their home venues have included:
