William Beamish<\/strong> (83) and Murray Wilson<\/strong> (64) led the charge for Saints on Saturday as they posted a healthy 251\/6 before Kingswood began their reply.<\/p>\n

William is already stepping up to fill the batting role his older brother, Matthew Beamish, performed so effectively for the St Andrew’s first team before him.<\/p>\n

Beamish and Wilson were boosted by a mighty innings from Alex Price<\/strong>, who cantered along to 54 runs off of 49 deliveries, before the declaration came.<\/p>\n

Laurie Apps<\/strong> and Thomas Bussiahn<\/strong> then delivered a masterclass with the ball, slicing through the hosts’ batting line-up to capture nine wickets between them as Kingswood limped to a paltry 72 all out.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Matt Loon<\/strong> (3\/32) and Ikechukwu Ukekwe<\/strong> (2\/17) enjoyed more success in stemming the flow of runs as St Andrew’s College mustered only 138\/7 in their allotted 20 overs.<\/p>\n

It was, then, Roman van Zyl<\/strong> who put the skids under the hosts. They need to bat at 6.85 runs per over to win but Van Zyl dismissed four batsmen and Oliver Johns<\/strong> lent valuable assistance, with 2\/17, as Kingswood were stopped in their tracks, 31 runs shy of their victory target.<\/p>\n

In another exciting match on Saturday, Ryan Denston<\/strong> starred as Queen’s College<\/strong> triumphed over Marlow. He first captured six wickets and then followed that up with an unbeaten innings of 79 to add an eye-catching chapter to his increasingly impressive record.<\/p>\n
