The Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> bowling attack proved too strong for Diocesan College<\/strong> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In the final outing for Rondebosch’s graduating group – captain Jordan Neill, Bongi Mfunelwa, Graeme Engelbrecht and Alex Combrink – they met Bishops in a 50-over match on the Frank Reid Oval.<\/p>\n

The hosts were sent to the crease first, and Bosch’s bowlers immediately launched an onslaught.<\/p>\n

Declan Gillespie<\/strong> led the charge, taking three wickets for 24, but it was their collective bowling excellence that enabled them to restrict Bishops to less than triple figures. Graeme Engelbrecht<\/strong> tied up the tail-end with 2\/5, while Alex Combrink<\/strong> and David Simon<\/strong> both grabbed a brace as well.<\/p>\n

Cole Crawford<\/strong> played a steady and defiant innings of 35 for Diocesan College, but the visiting bowlers picked apart the rest of the batting lineup with ease to dismiss them for just 93.<\/p>\n

The home team did well to regroup in a valiant attempt to defend a small target. They had Rondebosch under pressure early on, when they reduced the batting side to 18\/3. All Bosch needed, though, was a solid partnership and Noah Heath<\/strong> and Bongile Mfunelwa<\/strong> delivered it to see their team to victory over their southern suburbs’ rivals.<\/p>\n

Mfunelwa finished the game off in style, smashing a huge six to end his school cricket career on a high. He and the rest of the Rondebosch matriculants will remember the game fondly as a perfect send-off.<\/p>\n

Next Saturday, a team of Rondebosch stayers will host Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> for a friendly declaration match in preparation for the forthcoming season.<\/p>\n
