Somerset College outplayed Fairmont High for a 105-run victory over the boys from Durbanville on the Taberer Oval on Saturday.

Thando Prusent and Chad Ayford continued their good form from last weekend’s T20 action. Prusent scored 79 and Ayford got to 62 to build a solid platform for the home team.

Exceptional bowling by Callum Hughes and Christopher Varie left Fairmont 105 runs short of their mark.

Hughes conceded only 10 runs and took three wickets, and Varie got a hat-trick to dismiss the final three Fairmont batsmen.

Paarl Gimnasium proved too strong for HTS Drostdy in Paarl.

Tazreeq Moerat, who played an integral role in the success of their first-team rugby at fullback this season, led the charge with the bat, scoring 33 before he was finally run out.

It was the host’s bowling attack that set them apart though, with Douglas Smith taking four Drostdy wickets, Charles King getting another three and Moerat getting in on the action again with two wickets.

Josh Neill had a massive knock for Rondebosch Boys’ High’s Colts team against Hoërskool Bellville, scoring 122 off 80 balls as they beat the team from the northern suburbs by 119 runs.

Noordheuwel dra die seweskroon in die Noordvaal na ‘n skitterende vertoning by die jaarlikse byeenkoms hierdie naweek.

Die Nories kon vir Garsfontein in die eindstryd met 24-17 verslaan om die titel ‘n staanplek in Krugersdorp te gee.

Die toernooi lewer elke jaar opwindende sewesrugby met die beste skole in die Noordvaal wat meeding vir die gesogte titel.

Monument het hierdie jaar die tweede skool geword wat die voorreg kon geniet om die byeenkoms aan te bied, al die ander jare het nog by Menlopark afgespeel.

Die gaping tussen spanne op die ranglys verminder gewoonlik aansienlik met die vinniger weergawe van die spel, maar die stryd tussen die spanne was hierdie jaar merkwaardig gelyk.

Die Leeus se voorste verteenwoordiger, Noordheuwel, kon sy teenstanders mak maak in die groepwedstryde danksy briljante vertonings deur hul speler van die toernooi, Jade Muller, en sy makkers, Lindsay Jansen en Meyer Opperman.

Hul pad na die eindstryd toe was egter geensins eenvoudig nie. Die Nories moes in die halfeindronde sweet teen Hugenote en kon die wendrie eers in ekstratyd aanteken om met ‘n 10-5 sege ‘n plek in die eindstryd vas te maak teen die beste sewesspan uit die Blou Bul-streek.

Die Jukskei-derby tussen Noordheuwel en Garsies in die eindstryd het die perfekte einde aan die naweek se opwinding gebring.

Muller, Jansen en Jeandre Uithaler was uitstekend in die eindstryd.

Die Nories het ook vroeër die seisoen die Plaat afdeling by die NWU Prestige Skole sewestoernooi in Potchefstroom waar hulle slegs een wedstryd met 24-22 verloor het teen Hoërskool Outeniqua en die kampioene, Paul Roos, kon intem om met 7-elk gelykop te speel.

Hul afrigter, Werner Badenhorst sal trots wees op sy spelers se vertoning, maar dit sal nie te lank gevier word nie, hulle pak volgende maand die beste spanne in die land aan op Loftus in die Kampioen-van-kampioene toernooi van die Frogfoot reeks.

Verlede jaar se algehele wenners, Secunda, kon hierdie naweek net tot by die halfeindronde van die Bowl kompetisie deurdring voordat hulle teen Transvalia vasgeval het met 12-10.

Monument kon hul tuisskare vermaak met ‘n sege in die Plaat-afdeling se eindstryd teen Wesvalia.

Die Monnas span kon 22 punte sonder antwoord aanteken. RJ Barnard was witwarm vir die tuisspan in daardie wedstryd.

In die o.15 toernooi was dit die Blou Bulle se nommer een span, Zwartkop, wat kon wegstap met die louere.

Die Zwarries het die tuisspan in die eindstryd ontmoet en kon met ‘n enkele punt (22-21) die titel neem.

Shadin Botha het uitgeblink vir die span van Centurion.

Grey College and Diamantveld opened up proceedings at the inaugural Diamantveld T20 Cricket Festival under the lights on the Diamond Oval in Kimberley on Friday.

The visitors from Bloemfontein got off to a flying start through their stalwart opener, Juan Viljoen, but the hosts’ spin bowlers did well to contain Grey later on and give their batsmen a realistic target. Grey’s bowling attack was able to cause enough problems for the Diamonds to prevent them from gaining momentum and Grey won the opening match of the weekend by 53 runs.

Viljoen looks to be an extremely exciting T20 prospect for Grey Bloem.

He gave the crowd something to get excited about from the off, scoring 45 from only 22 deliveries, setting the pace with seven boundaries in total with four fours and three sixes.

Viljoen then matched this performance later with the ball in hand, taking two wickets as a bowler and combining well with his captain and wicketkeeper, Hayden Tolmay, for a runout.

His performance in the opening game earned him the man-of-the-match award and he is definitely one to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the weekend.

Darion Rabie also had a solid four overs for the winning team, taking two wickets and conceding a mere 15 runs.

Luhan de la Rey and Nathan Baird bowled very well to contain the visiting batsmen after the initial burst by Grey.

It was a ball by De la Rey that finally dismissed Grey’s talisman, Viljoen, when he couldn’t get a solid connection and Aiden Jacobs took the catch to deny him his half-century.

Though the hosts never really looked on pace to catch the visitors’ total, they played well to see out the 20 overs with Kaiden van Wyk leading their attack with an innings of 27.

This would have been the first time many of these boys got the opportunity to play on the oval, which will stay with them as a cherished memory in the future when some of them will be returning as professionals. Apart from giving the players an opportunity to experience playing in the stadium at night in front of a large crowd, this tournament is also part of Northern Cape Cricket and Diamantveld’s initiative to develop the talent in the area and get the boys playing against some of the strongest teams in the country.

Summarized Scorecard:

Grey College 150/7 (Juan Viljoen 45, Ruben Maree 31, Samu Lephoto 23, Zack Hattingh 21; Danie van der Merwe 2/39, Kaiden van Wyk 2/44); Diamantveld 97/7 (Kaiden van Wyk 27; Darion Rabie 2/15, Juan Viljoen 2/17). Grey College won by 53 runs.

The boys will be especially looking forward to showing off their skills with the Blitzbokke looking on and providing some entertainment and a showcase of top-quality sevens.

The majority of the teams competing on Saturday were in action at the Hoërskool Middelburg leg of the series last weekend, where last year’s overall winners, Secunda, claimed the crown with a 19-12 victory over Ligbron in the final.

The Middies had to make do with third place at their home tournament but will be hoping to improve on that result this weekend in the absence of Secunda.

Their big local rivals, HTS Middelburg, claimed the Plate last weekend by comprehensively beating Oosterland by 29 unanswered points in the final.

Two wildcards are the visiting Helpmekaar College from Braamfontein and Milnerton from Cape Town.

Helpmekaar’s u15 team were victorious in Bethlehem at the Witteberg sevens tournament two weeks ago, and Milnerton have been competing well against some of the best teams in the country at the various Western Cape meetings over the last couple of weeks.

Kanonkop was knocked out by the eventual Bowl champions, Ermelo, last weekend in the semi-finals by 31-26, and they will be hoping to go further in front of their home crowd.

The Blitzbokke will play three games against the All Stars Academy team, starting after the group stage games at 12:50, before playing again after the semis at 14:50 and finally drawing a line under what promises to be an action-packed weekend with the last game at 17:10 after the finals.

The All Stars Academy is based in Pretoria and run by Ludwiche van Deventer, giving school leavers the opportunity to develop both on and off the field and providing opportunities to play rugby on an international platform.

They regularly play against the Blitzbokke and participate in various international tournaments, including the Dubai Sevens.

The Rolyn Bergsig sevens tournament kicks off early on Saturday morning when the hosts take on Lebone in the opening match.

Bergsig’s Simeon Botha was selected as the player of the tournament last weekend and will be one to watch as the boys from Rustenburg look to recreate that success on Saturday.

The u15s curtain-raiser sees Bergsig take on Wagpos. Jayden Steyn was the standout player for the junior team in the tournament at Randburg.

Florida and Linden played at last weekend’s tournament as well, but there will be some new challengers for the crown in the likes of Frikkie Meyer and Rob Ferreira to get through if the Bergsig boys are to lift the trophy again on Saturday.

Die Frogfoot Noordvaal sewestoernooi skop Vrydag op die Ras van Rooyen veld by Hoërskool Monument af waar die beste sewesspanne in die streek gaan meeding vir die titel.

Monument kon verlede jaar albei titels terugneem in die o.15 en o.17 toernooie nadat EG Jansen in 2021 met die louere kon wegstap.

Verlede naweek was dit egter Noordheuwel wat die pas gestel het by die Monument-been van die Darryl Weir sewesreeks. Die Nories kon in die eindstryd teen Helpmekaar-kollege die loef afsteek met ‘n 28-19 sege.

Secunda was die algehele wenners laas jaar en die span van Mpumalanga het verlede naweek weer witwarm gelyk by die Hoërskool Middelburg sewestoernooi.

Hulle kon deur al ‘n groepswedstryde en die kwarteindstryd kom sonder om ‘n enkele punt af te staan, en kon toe ook die titel neem deur om Ligbron in die eindstryd met 19-12 te verslaan.

Zander Scheepers en Divan Mulder het uitgeblink by daardie byeenkoms, en sal definitief twee spelers wees om hierdie naweek dop te hou.

Waterkloof en Garsfontein lyk albei ook sterk.

Riwan van Aswegen uit Waterkloof is onlangs gekies vir die Blou Bulle sewesspan wat by die nationale kompetisie gaan deelneem.

Die Klofies kon by Montana se sewestoernooi tot by die halfeindronde deurdruk, waar hulle teen Garsfontein vasgeloop het.

Die Blitzbere het daardie trofee gewen deur om vir Affies in ‘n epiese eindstryd met 29-26 weg te sien .

Brooklyn Newman, Garsies se haastige eerstespan skrumskakel was vroeër die jaar al deel van die SA A span en Luann Olivier het die land verteenwoordig by die Statebond Jeugspele in Trinidad en Tobago, waar die SA o.18 sewesspan ‘n derde plek kon losspeel.

Ligbron, uit die Puma-streek, het onttrek uit Poel A, en los vir Garsies dan met ‘n loslootjie, maar hulle sal steeds verby Tom Naude en Wesvalia moet kom.

Hoërskool Pietersburg het hul plek bo-aan die sewesranglys in Limpopo vasgemaak na hulle vir Ben Voster van Tzaneen met 29-7 pakslae kon gee vir die streektitel.

Hierdie naweek kan die beste spanne uit die verskillende streke in die Noordvaal gebied dan ‘n laaste keer hulself meet, voor die groot Kampioen-van-kampioene toernooi wat die 14e Oktober in Pretoria plaasvind.

Die groepwedstryde word almal Vrydag afgehandel voor die uitkloprondes Saterdag oggend begin.

Die groepe:

Poel A – Garsfontein, Tom Naude, Wesvalia.

Poel B – Noordheuwel, Menlopark, Transvalia, Pietersburg.

As we get ready for the end-of-year cricket action to get started Somerset College and DF Malan got the ball rolling with a pre-season T20 match on the Taberer Oval on Monday.

The hosts set up an impressive 195/9 with Chad Ayford and Jonno Firth scoring 59 runs each.

Ayford opened for Somerset College and smashed seven quick sixes to get to his total in only 22 deliveries.

Firth repeated the trick off of only 40 balls, adding seven fours and three sixes to his tally.

The hosts then backed up their dominant batting display with some efficient bowling, containing the DF Malan batsmen to 79/9.

Thomas Parsons took three wickets and only conceded four runs in his three overs.

Erian Vorster managed to survive long enough to score 33 runs for the visitors, but their opening five batsmen were dismissed for a combined total of only seven runs by the effective Somerset College bowling attack and they never managed to gain any real momentum.

Their u15 teams also faced off and Somerset College won that match by 58 runs.

The hosts scored 156/5 in 20 overs with Dawid de Klerk contributing 45.

They then bowled out the DF Malan boys with only one ball left in the game for 98 to secure the double for Somerset College on the day.

They face Fairmont High School on Saturday for a 50 Overs match before the Cape Schools festival at the end of the month.

Summarized Scorecard:

Somerset College 195/9 (Chad Ayford 59, Jonno Firth 59, Callum Hughes 26, Extras 20; Daniel du Plessis 2/24, Benjamin Grobler 2/38, Charl Botha 2/46); DF Malan 79/9 (Erian Vorster 33; Thomas Parsons 3/4, Dion Claassens 2/10). Somerset College won by 115 runs.

Die aksie skop Vrydagaand op die Kimberley Diamond Oval af na Northern Cape Heat en Easterns hul CSA eendagreeks bepaling afgehandel het en Diamantveld vir Grey-kollege van Bloemfontein om 19:00 aanpak.

Carlton van Heerden is die derde span in Poel A, en begin hul naweek Saterdagoggend waneer hulle die tuisspan aandurf.

In Poel B is die St Andrews van Bloemfontein, Potchefstroom Volkskool en die Noord-Kaap HUB wat sake sal uitspook en Hoër Jongenskool Paarl, Noord-Kaap en Kalahari is saam in Poel C.

Luhan de la Rey, die Diamonds se kaptein, en sy span sal hul lippe aflek vir die geleentheid om hul staal te wys op die Kimberley Oval, maar hulle sal hul ritme vinnig moet vind teen Grey in die openingswedstryd.

Die span van Bloemfontein het verlede naweek teen Potchefstroom Gimnasium uitgedraf vir ‘n 50 beurt wedstryd, maar moes die knie buig danksy ‘n skitterende vertoning deur die Gimmies se laer-orde kolwers.

Juan Viljoen het goed vertoon met sy boulwerk vir Grey in daardie wedstryd en hy sal weer op sy stukke moet wees om Vrydag die Diamantveld kolfaanval in te perk.

Die Diamonds sal veral staatmaak op Simon Liversage. Liversage was heel jaar al ‘n uitblinker vir die eerste-rugbyspan, maar hy is net so bevoeg met ‘n kolf in die hand en lyk soos ‘n speler om dop te hou die naweek.

Die res van die bepalings begin almal Saterdag oggend. Die Noord-Kaap Hub en Potch Volkies speel die eerste wedstryd op die Oval en daar sal tot laat aksie wees waneer Boishaai en Noord-Kaap hul stryd klaarmaak.

Die uitspeelrondes vind op Sondag en Maandag plaas, so daar sal vier volle dae van topgehalte skolekrieket wees om te geniet in Kimberley die naweek. Toeskouers staan boonop nog ‘n kans om ‘n deel van die R10 000 prysgeld te wen indien hulle ‘n bal wat vir ‘n ses geslaan is met een hand uit die lug kan pluk.

Grey se sewesspan het oor die afgelope twee naweke baie goed presteer om by twee groot sewestoernooie tot die eindstryd deur te dring, maar albei kere het hulle in hul groot vyand van Stellenbosch, Paul Roos, in die finale wedstryd vasgeloop.

Die seuns van Grey het egter nog teen geen ander span in die vinniger formaat van die spel verloor hierdie jaar nie, terwyl Paul Roos al ‘n paar keer vasgeval het.

Terwyl die Maroen Masjien by die eerste jaarlikse NWU Prestige Skole sewestoernooi in Potchefstroom na halftyd kon terugveg om vir Grey met 22-19 te klop, en verlede naweek by die groot Marius Schoeman fees in die Paarl hul spiere gebult het deur om die Bloemfonteiners met 33-10 weg te sit, sal die manne van Grey hul lippe aflek vir ‘n kans om die bordjies te verhang waneer die twee spanne mekaar in Oktober moontlik weer raakloop by die kampioenetoernooi.

Alzeadon Felix, Pieter van der Merwe, en Philip Mclaren is drie van die Grey-seuns wat uitblink sedert die sewes-seisoen afgeskop het. Van der Merwe het ook die jaar al uitgeblink vir die eerstespan gedurende die gewone 15-man seisoen waar Grey met al hul opponente kon afreken om heel bo aan die skoleranglyste te eindig.

Met sulke dinamiese groep spelers en ‘n afrigtingspan wat al jaar na jaar hulself bewys het belowe die manne van Bloemfontein om volgende jaar hul heerspkappy oor Suid Afrikaanse skolerugby voort te sit, maar vir eers sal alle aandag op die oorblywende sewesoernooie wees.

Met ‘n gemiddelde telling van 45-3 kan daar geen twyfel wees dat die Grey sewesspan hierdie naweek op ‘n vlak van hul eie was nie.

Albei ouderdomsgroepe se eindstrydwedstryde was Grey teen Grey, met die eerste en tweedespanne wat onoorwonne deur die plaaslike kompetisie kon beweeg.
