East Coast Radio Allstars win 'The Greatest Showdown' against the Hollywoodbets Dolphins

The partnership was acknowledged through a cricket match played by the Hollywoodbets Dolphins against the ECR Allstars where the ECR Allstars came out on top.

East Coast Radio recruited an all-star studded team that saw East Coast Breakfast's Darren Maule captain a team of ECR presenters. 

The team included the likes of East Coast Drive's Bongani Mtolo, J Sbu, Mike V, Sam Cele as well as local celebrities; Dinesha Devnarain and Pat Symcox who are both ex Protea players, as well as famous footballer George Koumantarakis. The cherry on top was when David Miller retired his Dolphins attire to clad the ECR Allstar kit.

East Coast Radio also recruited four KZN up and coming cricket talents to join the team.

This year, the two forefront brands in KZN decided to celebrate their long-standing relationship by making their partnership official as they welcome and promote common interests; world class radio, riveting sport and giving back to the community.

East Coast Radio General Manager Boni Mchunu expressed her delight on the partnership and said that this relationship is one that ECR cherishes very much.

“We have had a great relationship with The Hollywoodbets Dolphins for quite a number of years now however we never referred to it as a contractual agreement because our relationship with this brand is so much more than just that. We are both two proudly KZN brands who believe in serving our communities and merging resources for the greater good. Alone we can do much but together we can do so much more. I am extremely excited about what we have planned for the near future and feel confident that this partnership will pave the way for many great moments in KZN,” said Mchunu.

Echoing very similar sentiments, Hollywoodbets Dolphins CEO, Heinrich Strydom added: “Our partnership with East Coast Radio started a number of years ago and through the years, ECR has remained a valued partner of The Hollywoodbets Dolphins. We thank Boni and her team for the continued support they provide to the brand and for keeping fans informed. Our two brands share a similar vision and we look forward to taking this partnership to new levels in the coming years.”

The day saw hundreds of KZN supporters make their way down to the stadium to show their love and support for both brands.
