\"\"Garsfontein’s 1st XI,<\/strong> known as the Ysbere, have booked themselves a mouthwatering showdown against Waterkloof in the semifinals of the Noordvaal Gunn & Moore competition after comfortably beating Ho\u00ebrskool Nelspruit on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Nelspruit won the toss and elected to make use of the batting-friendly Highveld conditions. However, the visitors were pegged back by the loss of two early wickets before Jaydon Meyer<\/strong> led a recovery with a fighting knock of 47 from 48 deliveries.<\/p>\n

John Duncan<\/strong> also played his part, providing much-needed support for Meyer, with a run-a-ball 30, while Branden Bouch<\/strong> contributed a vital 25 not out.<\/p>\n

Garsies’ Nayleo Sanna<\/strong> enjoyed a fine outing with the ball, capturing 4\/34 from his nine overs. Sanna’s star turn, with good support from the rest of the attack, resulted in Nellies being bowled out in the 43rd over for 207.<\/p>\n

The strong Garsie batting line then dominated at the crease. Xander Venter<\/strong> led their charge with an unbeaten 61 from just 45 deliveries, while Gustav Beer<\/strong> made a telling 58 not out from 48 balls.<\/p>\n

They benefitted from a sturdy platform which had been laid by opening batsman Reuben van Zyl<\/strong>, who made 43. The trio’s consistent contributions were too much for the Nelspruit attack and Garsfontein cruised home, reaching the required target in only the 27th over.<\/p>\n

Potchefstroom Gimnasium<\/strong> also booked a place in the semi-finals after seeing off Ho\u00ebrskool Monument<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Gimmies, wielding the willow first, posted a respectable 240 all out. James Wood<\/strong> shone with a controlled 59 from 82 deliveries. In support of Wood, Caiden Seleka<\/strong> showcased his abilities with an important 43, while Zavier van Niekerk delivered a crucial cameo of 32, to set up a difficult chase for the side from Krugersdorp.<\/p>\n

Joshua McCoy<\/strong> was the pick of the Monnas’ bowlers, sending four batsmen packing for 43 runs.<\/p>\n

In pursuit of 241 to win, Monument’s run chase looked comfortably set at 53\/2. However, they were soon in deep trouble as Philip du Plessis<\/strong> tore through their middle order, snatching four wickets.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Haffejee, <\/strong>with a splendid 42 from 39, did a good job of stemming the tide, but rain then ended the contest, which resulted in Gimmies taking a win by 18 runs via the Duckworth Lewis Method.<\/p>\n
