These were separated by Transvaal's entry into the UCB Bowl, a competition in which Vandrau participated yearly between 1994, when his Transvaal team shared the trophy with Western Province after a draw, despite Vandrau's absence from the team, and 1995, when they did not progress beyond the group stage.

He continued to play first-class cricket until 1997, at which point he was not offered a new contract.

Now Vandrau is based in London with his wife and two kids.
