After Curro Durbanville won the toss and decided to bat, Marius du Plessis<\/strong> spearheaded the attack for Boland Landbou, taking the first three wickets of the game while conceding only 35 runs.<\/p>\n

Reece Bald<\/strong> scored a solid 40 runs for the visitors before Lohann Louw<\/strong> ended his threat by palming a catch off a delivery by Kobus Conradie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That was Conradie’s second wicket of the day, and he was also involved in a run out at the end of the innings for another highlight to remember his seventh cap by.<\/p>\n

His older brother, the Boland Landbou 1st XI captain, Stefan Conradie<\/strong>, playing in his 70th match for the team, was responsible for the other wicket.<\/p>\n

Ben la Grange<\/strong> also celebrated the 70-cap milestone, but it was his last match for the school. He was the only grade 12 player in the Boland Landbou line-up.<\/p>\n

Chasing 169 to win, Stefan Conradie then led the charge for his team at the crease, putting on an opening stand of 108 with Jan-Albert van Niekerk<\/strong> to get Boland onto the front foot early on.<\/p>\n

With a captain’s knock of 63 from 73 deliveries, including 10 boundaries, Conradie showed why he was named in the Boland u19<\/strong> team this year.<\/p>\n

Van Niekerk, meanwhile, bludgeoned three sixes as he raced to 47.<\/p>\n

The Durbanville bowlers were exceptionally well-disciplined as they attempted to contain the hosts. In 31 overs, they conceded only four extras.<\/p>\n

Du Plessis and Francois Prins<\/strong>, however, played confidently in the middle, knowing they had the luxury of wickets in hand, and with four overs to spare they overhauled Curro’s total.<\/p>\n

Du Plessis contributed 27 off 20 deliveries without losing his wicket and smashed four boundaries to drive his team over the line, while Prins finished with an unbeaten 19.<\/p>\n

Prins has been selected for the Boland u16 team this year and already looks like an exciting young prospect with a bright future.<\/p>\n

For Curro Durbanville, Matthew Scobble<\/strong> was a standout performer. First, he produced a resilient innings of 26 not out, batting at the tail-end for the visitors, before he took the two crucial wickets of the Boland openers to get his team back in the game after the hosts’ initial onslaught.<\/p>\n

In the end, despite a valiant fight from Curro, Boland Landbou ended their year on a high note, with a performance that bodes well for the young team who will, for the most part, be playing together again next season.<\/p>\n
