Titans Cricket is deeply saddened by the passing of Coenraad van der Berg, who served as the team manager of the Titans Deaf Cricket Team and represented the team as a player for several years. His loss is deeply felt throughout the Titans family, particularly within the deaf cricket community, where he made a lasting impact through his unwavering dedication and commitment.

Coenraad was known throughout the Titans setup as someone who would do anything for his team and for the union as a whole. Outgoing and always ready with a word of encouragement, he remained a constant source of support for his players, whether they were on the field or not. His commitment did not go unnoticed by those around him: teammates and colleagues affectionately nicknamed him ‘Superman’, a fitting tribute to the tireless way he showed up for the team over the years.

Titans Deaf Cricket Head Coach Freddie Lebeloane paid tribute to Coenraad, saying: “Coenraad was a person who would do anything for his team and for the Titans. He was outgoing, he spoke a lot, and he always supported his team even when he wasn’t out there playing. That’s exactly why we called him ‘Superman’ – because of everything he did for us. He will be deeply missed.”

Coenraad’s years of service to the Titans Deaf Cricket Team leave behind a legacy of loyalty, warmth, and selflessness.

Titans Cricket extends its heartfelt condolences to Coenraad’s family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time.
