Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville vs Ho\u00ebrskool Swartland<\/strong><\/p>\n Having won the toss, the home side, Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville<\/strong>, chose to bat first in their 50-over fixture against Ho\u00ebrskool Swartland<\/strong>, on Saturday.<\/p>\n The conditions appeared to favour the bowlers, but that didn’t stop Jean van Coller<\/strong> from scoring a half-century.<\/p>\n He stuck around to set a sound platform for the Durbies<\/strong><\/em>‘ innings, scoring 56 runs off 103 balls, with four fours. That stubborn effort helped Durbanville to total 190 all out.<\/p>\n Euan Claasen<\/strong> led Swartland’s bowling attack with figures of 2\/27, while Iaan Snyders<\/strong> claimed 2\/29. A decent bowling performance was, however, marred by some needless extras, with Swartland conceding 28, of which 21 were from wides.<\/p>\n When they visited the crease, the Swartland<\/strong> batting lineup struggled to get going, which was underlined by the fact that Sean Kotze<\/strong>, batting at number seven, top-scored for the visitors with an unbeaten 14 off 21 balls.<\/p>\n The Durbies’ bowlers produced a sound team performance, with Jan-Oscar van Tonder, Erich Vermeulen, Liam Kirsten<\/strong>, and Ruan van As<\/strong> all collecting two wickets each, while also conceding less than 15 runs.<\/p>\n Swartland’s run chase, as a consequence, ended well short of the 191 they required for victory. They were all out for only 90.<\/p>\n Stellenberg High School vs Parel Vallei High School<\/strong><\/p>\n Stellenberg High<\/strong> welcomed Parel Vallei High<\/strong> to Cape Town’s northern suburbs on Saturday for a 50-over showdown. The match didn’t start smoothly for the hosts, who stumbled out of the gate and were reduced to 51\/5.<\/p>\n JJ Rothman<\/strong>, though, gave Stellies<\/strong><\/em> what they so desperately needed – an innings of consequence. Waiting for the loose ball, he tallied 55 runs off 78 deliveries before becoming the last wicket to go down with the total on 131.<\/p>\n Parel Vallei’s Dirk van Zyl<\/strong> was excellent with the ball, securing 4\/24 from his 10 overs, while Liam Liebenberg<\/strong> enjoyed success, too, picking up 3\/30 in six overs.<\/p>\n After producing a strong showing in the field, the visitors from Somerset West, unfortunately for them, were unable to match that effectiveness with the bat. Only two of their batsmen made it beyond 20.<\/p>\n Migael Badenhorst<\/strong> top scored, chipping in with 27 off 35, while Ben Traut<\/strong> scored 21 off 38 as they partnered to add 45 for the second wicket.<\/p>\n When the two were dismissed with only a single run being scored between their exits, Stellenberg smelt blood in the water.<\/p>\n Rothman, again, led their challenge, knocking over 3\/17 in six overs, while JJ Alberts<\/strong> snapped up 3\/22 in three overs. Aiden Pienaar<\/strong> wasn’t far behind them, collecting 2\/30 from 10 tight overs as Parel Vallei was bowled out for 105.<\/p>\n SCORES<\/strong><\/p>\n Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville 190\/10<\/strong> (Jean van Coller 56, Extras 28; Euan Claasen 2\/27, Iaan Snyders 2\/29); Ho\u00ebrskool Swartland 90\/10<\/strong> (Jan-Oscar van Tonder 2\/10, Erich Vermeulen 2\/12, Liam Kirsten 2\/12, Ruan van As 2\/14).<\/p>\n Durbanville won by 100 runs.<\/strong><\/p>\n Stellenberg High 131\/10<\/strong> (JJ Rothman 55, Aiden Pienaar 24, Extras 23; Dirk van Zyl 4\/24, Liam Liebenberg 3\/30, Damian Faure 2\/43); Parel Vallei 105\/10<\/strong> (Migael Badenhorst 27, Ben Traut 21; JJ Rothman 3\/17, JJ Alberts 3\/22, Aiden Pienaar 2\/30).<\/p>\n Stellenberg won by 26 runs.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville vs Ho\u00ebrskool Swartland Having won the toss, the home side, Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville, chose to bat first in their 50-over fixture against Ho\u00ebrskool Swartland, on Saturday.
