Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> was on the road at Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong> on Tuesday for a 40-over clash between two of the Western Cape’s leading 1st XIs. After a solid batting performance, ‘Bosch<\/strong> <\/em>was able to hold off Gim and record a 24-run victory.<\/p>\n

Opener Eli Aufrichtig<\/strong> provided a sound foundation off of which the rest of the Rondebosch batsmen could build, facing 58 balls for a useful 38 runs.<\/p>\n

His fellow opener Daniel Cooke<\/strong> didn’t last long, going out for a duck, but Janko Webb<\/strong> replaced him and hit 26 off 29, which left the visitors on 50\/2 when Noah Heath<\/strong> made his way to the crease.<\/p>\n

While Heath batted conservatively, hitting 52 off 74 balls, his was an invaluable contribution, the highest score of the match, which helped to steer Rondebosch to 201\/9.<\/p>\n

Credit to Paarl Gim, they made ‘Bosch work hard for their total, conceding only 10 fours and two sixes.<\/p>\n

Eric Groeneveld<\/strong> was a bit on the expensive side, but he removed three batsmen, claiming 3\/40 in six overs. Louis Koen<\/strong> sent down eight and took 2\/42, while De<\/strong> Waal Vivier<\/strong> also picked up 2\/42, but in seven overs.<\/p>\n

Paarl Gim’s run chase got off to a composed and sound start, with Dirk Hugo<\/strong> and Matt Dippenaar<\/strong> putting on 66 for the first wicket. Hugo struck two fours and two sixes in his 37 off 47, while Dippenaar was more subdued, weighing in with 25 off 53.<\/p>\n

Later, De Waal Vivier and Louis Koen shared a 49-run, sixth wicket partnership. Koen unleashed some big shots, smashing three sixes in his 20 off 20, while Vivier chipped in with a useful 35 off 46, which included three fours.<\/p>\n

However, that wasn’t enough as Paarl Gim was limited to 177 all out.<\/p>\n

Schalk Fourie<\/strong> was on the money for the Rondebosch bowling attack, capturing 3\/26 in 5.5 overs. In six overs, Raaid Davids<\/strong> picked up 2\/21, while Ethan De Heer Kloots<\/strong> claimed 2\/23.<\/p>\n

It was De Heer Kloots’ first official game for the first team. The talented all-rounder, who has been a standout performer as he has moved up the age groups, is certainly a player on whom to keep an eye.<\/p>\n
