\"NewsGDewaldBrevis\"Garsfontein <\/strong>managed to come out on top against their old rivals, Affies<\/strong> in the Titans League on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Affies won the toss and elected to bowl first. A decision that most certainly deemed to suit Garsfontein on home soil, as the Garsie-batsman laid down the law.<\/p>\n

Reuben van Zyl<\/strong> was the main contributor as the opener pilled on the runs at a brisk pace. He was finally sent back to the pavilion with his score on 113 of only 78 deliveries.<\/p>\n

His opening partner, Dumisani Motshene<\/strong>, also had a good day with the willow, contributing a mature and well-constructed 71 off 95 balls.<\/p>\n

Just as the Affie bowlers, led by Heinrich Muller<\/strong> (3\/70), started to make some good inroads, Eckard Struwig<\/strong> strode to the crease to swing the momentum back in his side\u2019s favour, blasting 55 of only 28 deliveries to guide Garsfontein to a very imposing score of 369\/9 in their allotted 50 overs.<\/p>\n

The Affie batters followed the example set in the first innings as they too got off to a very good start with the bat. The opener, Lukas Janse van Rensburg<\/strong> showed his class with a wonderful knock of 106 at more than a run a ball having faced only 102 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Van Rensburg was well supported by Divan de Villiers<\/strong> who contributed 40 runs of his own to go with his impressive bowling figures of 2\/82. But the festivities were short-lived as Stefan van Staden<\/strong> (4\/55) and Xander Venter<\/strong> (2\/29) tore through the Affie batters to restrict the home side to only 306 all out, claiming a very impressive 66-run victory.<\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Centurion<\/strong> also got off to a good start claiming a solid victory of 25 runs over Prestige College<\/strong> away from home. Centurion won the toss and decided to have a bat first.<\/p>\n

After a rocky start and a few early wickets by the impressive Teko Modiba<\/strong> (3\/41) the visitors finally hit their straps as Divan van Tonder<\/strong> (73, 105b) and Rehan Lues<\/strong> (52, 47b) steadied the ship. Supported by a good knock of 24 of 61 balls by Anton Stassen they managed to work their way to a competitive first innings total of 224\/8.<\/p>\n

Still enjoying somewhat of the momentum, the men from Prestige looked in a comfortable position in their chase of 225 to win, with Modise Maloka<\/strong> laying the foundation with his 62 of 81.<\/p>\n

Contributions by Lethabo Kunene<\/strong> (35, 28b) and Morati Lefhiedi<\/strong> (31, 36b) further helped the cause, but it was deemed not to be enough as Rehan Lues<\/strong> continued his momentum gained with the willow to claim impressive figures of 4\/23.<\/p>\n

Wouter Kielblok<\/strong> also walked away with figures of 3\/46 as the pair claimed seven scalps between them to ensure a hard-fought victory.<\/p>\n

Summarised scorecards: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Garsfontein 369\/9<\/strong> (Reuben van Zyl 113, Dumisani Motshene 71, Eckard Struwig 55, Logan Weetman 32, Mohammad Aslam 25; Heinrich Muller 3\/70, Divan de Villiers 2\/82); Affies 306\/10<\/strong> (Lukas Janse van Rensburg 106, Divan de Villiers 40, Andru van Zyl 32, Jorich van Schalkwyk 30; Stefan van Staden 4\/55, Xander Venter 2\/29).
