\"\"Ryan Moyo<\/strong>‘s composure led Peterhouse<\/strong> to a nail-biting victory over Graeme College<\/strong> on Saturday at the Makhanda Cricket Festival<\/strong>. Under extreme pressure, he kept his cool, contributing a match-winning unbeaten 43 runs from 51 deliveries to guide his team to a stirring win.<\/p>\n

Sean Bennett’s<\/strong> 42 runs from 53 balls and a valuable contribution of 29 runs from Nicholas Anderson<\/strong> also played an integral part in their side’s successful chase of 200.<\/p>\n

For Graeme College<\/strong>, Marcus Williams<\/strong> led the way, top-scoring with a well-played 57 from 84 deliveries. Alongside Williams, Qhama Ngoma <\/strong>contributed a mature 31 runs as the pair helped Graeme to a respectable total of 199 all out.<\/p>\n

Bennett shone with the ball, as well, for Peterhouse, bagging figures of 2\/16, while Jake Palmer<\/strong> (2\/35) and Isaac Hildebrand<\/strong> (2\/41) also got in on the action.<\/p>\n

Graeme College’s Jordan Damons<\/strong> and Erin Nelson<\/strong> set the cat amongst the pigeons with excellent bowling spells. Damons was the pick of their bowlers, claiming three scalps for 24 runs, while Nelson knocked over 3 for 36.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the local team, it was not quite enough to stop the Zimbabwean school from claiming a memorable one-wicket victory.<\/p>\n

St Andrews College <\/strong>blew a wounded Dale College<\/strong> side out of the water in a one-sided game.<\/p>\n

St Andrew’s opted to bat first, giving their in-form batsmen another chance to pile on the runs. William Beamish<\/strong> was once again on song. This time, however, he reached triple figures, scoring a superb 105 from just 111 balls. His opening partner, Mitch Coventry<\/strong>, also got stuck into the Dale bowlers, contributing 55 runs.<\/p>\n

After a rapid fire 101-run partnership for the first wicket, more salt was rubbed into the wounds inflicted on the Dale attack. When Coventry departed, Murray Wilson<\/strong> continued the onslaught, combining with Beamish for a wonderful partnership of 94 runs.<\/p>\n

Then, when Samuel Scheckter<\/strong> strode to the crease, there was no let-up. He struck an astonishing 73 runs from only 47 balls in an innings that included six fours and one six, which helped College to a mammoth total of 361\/4 from their 50 overs on the Lower Field oval.<\/p>\n

The disappointment continued for Dale College as their batsmen were found wanting under the severe pressure of a colossal run chase. Alistair de Kock<\/strong> tore through the Dale lineup, claiming six wickets in the blink of an eye. Then, Oliver Johns<\/strong> did the cleaning up, claiming two wickets in four balls.<\/p>\n

Dale were dismantled for a measly 23 runs, which meant they had suffered a crushing 338-run defeat.<\/p>\n

In another tightly contested clash, Trinityhouse<\/strong> overcame Kingswood College<\/strong> by three wickets. Christopher Zimmerman’s<\/strong> 46 runs, together with a well-played 37 from Ross Thompson,<\/strong> helped Kingswood to 182 all out.<\/p>\n

Tahir Ismail<\/strong> did the bulk of the damage for Trinityhouse, with a return of 3\/13, while Kian Vermaak <\/strong>did his bit by taking 2 for 20.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A masterful performance from Sohail Seonath<\/strong>, who scored a brilliant 91 runs from 123 deliveries, then set Trinityhouse on course for victory. His fine effort, combined with Jean du Toit’s<\/strong> 27 runs lower down the order, saw the boys from Johannesburg to a three-wicket win.<\/p>\n

Matthew Loon<\/strong> tried valiantly with the ball for Kingswood, claiming the impressive figures of four wickets for 43 runs. He was well supported by Daniel Jankins<\/strong>, whose return was 2 for 23.<\/p>\n
