Rondebosch First XI, 2024 (Photo provided)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Grey College<\/strong> came up against a wounded Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> on the final day of their tour of the Cape on Sunday and ‘Bosch, off the back of a heavy defeat the previous day, delivered a comprehensive 93-run victory.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, they had an uncharacteristically off day against their local rivals SACS<\/strong>, being bowled out for only 50 runs and suffering a seven-wicket defeat. But ‘Bosch regrouped well to put the previous game’s freakish result behind them.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Noah Heath<\/strong> (69) and Declan Gillespie<\/strong> (36) provided Rondebosch with a solid 66-run partnership for the first wicket before Grey’s stalwart Darion Rabie<\/strong> made a breakthrough by finding a gap in Gillespie’s defences.<\/p>\n

That brought Daniel Bosman<\/strong> to the crease, and he further bolstered his side’s total with a mature knock of 60 runs.<\/p>\n

After Henru de Wet<\/strong> claimed Heath’s wicket, Rabie and co were able to work their way through the remaining Bosch batsmen before any of them could settle in.<\/p>\n

Bosman, however, kept picking off the Grey bowlers and helped to drive the Rondebosch total to 226, before River Scott<\/strong> ended his innings in combination with Sicelo Matayi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Raeeq Daniels<\/strong> then tore through the visitors’ top order, capturing three wickets in his first three overs, to leave Grey rattled on 8\/3. Later in the day, he added another victim to finish with 4\/42 from 10 overs.<\/p>\n

Ruben Maree<\/strong> (26), Dale Williams<\/strong> (25) and Pieter Smit<\/strong> (20) provided some resistance for Grey in the middle order, but Daniels and co kept turning the screw.<\/p>\n

Rabie, Grey’s final batsman, showed the same energy he had exhibited in the field, racing to an unbeaten 20 runs and smashing four boundaries, in a last-ditch effort to rescue the Bloemfontein school. However, he could do nothing but watch on helplessly from the non-batting end as Nathan Ball<\/strong> brought the Grey innings to a close on 142.<\/p>\n

Grey also lost to Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> on Friday. Riley Norton<\/strong> led the Paul Roos batting charge with 97 runs before combining with Dian Winkel<\/strong> (4\/33) and Callum Appolis<\/strong> (2\/40) to stymie Grey’s counteroffensive 56 runs shy of their victory target.<\/p>\n

Batting ninth for Grey Casper Troskie played a very good innings to miss out on his half-century by only five runs, which boosted his side’s total to 191.<\/p>\n

Grey faced Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> on Saturday. After an initial delay due to poor weather, the match was shortened to 35 overs a side, and the touring team posted a decent total of 169\/9. Unfortunately, the weather had the final say, preventing Wynberg from batting, and the match was called off.<\/p>\n
