In Alberton, the match-up, which could certainly turn out to be the most interesting of the four, between Ho\u00ebrskool Marais Viljoen<\/strong> and Ho\u00ebrskool Hans Moore<\/strong>, will have the supporters of those two schools buzzing.<\/p>\n

The Moories did what they set out to do last week, knocking out Ho\u00ebrskool Garsfontein<\/strong>‘s Ysbere,<\/strong> after recording a 20-run victory, while Marais Viljoen<\/strong> cruised by Ho\u00ebrskool Rustenburg<\/strong>, scoring an impressive 49-run win.<\/p>\n

With both sides possessing strong batting lineups, it could come down to which team’s bowlers can keep a cooler head when put under pressure.<\/p>\n

The home side will be wary of the danger Moories’ all-rounder Kenan Shaw<\/strong> presents. Shaw, the spearhead of the bowling department last week, will be oozing confidence after his match-winning analysis of 4\/21 against the Ysbere.<\/p>\n

His brother, Aiden Shaw<\/strong>, who was recently selected for the Easterns’ u16 side, will pose a threat opening the batting, while number three batsman, Xavier Coetzee<\/strong>, has been in immaculate form throughout the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Marais Viljoen’s Abdullah Tadwala<\/strong> has predominantly starred with the bat, but his handy off-spinners have seen him become a very well-rounded all-rounder for the side from Alberton.<\/p>\n

Alongside him, the talented Jordan Baijnath<\/strong> will also have something to say in both the batting and bowling departments, while captain Aldr\u00e9 Huyzers<\/strong> would like to make yet another contribution with the bat to steer his side to a second consecutive Fain Noordvaal Final.<\/p>\n

Merensky Landbou Akademie<\/strong> faces a massive challenge on Saturday. The side from behind the citrus curtain travels to Pretoria to tackle the defending champions, Ho\u00ebrskool Waterkloof<\/strong>, in their backyard.<\/p>\n

The Plasies’ all-rounder Rinaldo Bornman<\/strong> will look forward to exploring the batting-friendly conditions of the Andr\u00e9 van der Walt Oval. He’s been piling on the runs over the last couple of weeks. One of the highlights of his season was a classy 121 against Ho\u00ebrskool Piet Potgieter in the Limpopo Super 8 league.<\/p>\n

The Klofies will have to do without the services of their Namibian International, Alex Volschenk<\/strong>, who misses out due to a shoulder injury. They, however, welcome back captain Beukes van den Berg<\/strong>, from injury. Van den Berg, whose return strengthens the Klofie batting lineup significantly, won’t be taking up the gloves as usual, with the youngster Rico van der Walt<\/strong> filling his spot behind the stumps.<\/p>\n

Die Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark<\/strong> welcomes another Limpopo-based side, Ho\u00ebrskool Pietersburg<\/strong>, to Pretoria. Menlo scored a hard-fought three-wicket victory over Ho\u00ebrskool Dr Malan<\/strong> in the elimination round last week.<\/p>\n

Parkies’ in-form Matt van der Westhuizen<\/strong> will be relishing another chance to get out into the middle.\u00a0Van der Westhuizen’s 76 against the Dokkies played a key role in his side’s victory.<\/p>\n

The Pieties had an unforeseen break last week after Prestige College<\/strong> decided not to make the trip up north. They, however, also possess some quality batting. The southpaw duo of Stephan Swanepoel<\/strong> and Hanno van Zyl<\/strong> could cause the home side serious headaches.<\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Middelburg and Ho\u00ebrskool Kempton Park meet in their qaurter-final clash on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
