\"Cricket<\/p>\n

Johan Feuth<\/strong> played a starring role in another commanding victory for Ho\u00ebrskool Waterkloof<\/strong> in the Finsbury League<\/strong>‘s A Section on Saturday, as Klofies<\/strong><\/em> dismantled Ho\u00ebrskool Rustenburg<\/strong> by 100 runs in Rustenburg.<\/p>\n

Feuth was mesmerising during a 60-ball unbeaten innings that brought him a century as Waterkloof posted a challenging 265\/5 from their 50 overs.<\/p>\n

Batting at six, he injected momentum into the visitors’ innings, striking at a rate of 166 and plundering eight sixes and six fours on his way to an imperious 100 not out.<\/p>\n

His decisive 142-run partnership with captain Franco Schmidt<\/strong> (49) both revived and anchored the Waterkloof innings.<\/p>\n

Berto Grobler<\/strong> was the standout bowler for the home side, with his 3\/54 from eight overs being just reward for the sustained pressure he generated.<\/p>\n

In reply, Rusties<\/strong><\/em>‘ captain Thian Labuschagne<\/strong> fought valiantly, compiling a well-crafted 67. However, with little support around him and incisive spells from AJ de Villiers<\/strong> (2\/22) and Rivan Booysen<\/strong> (2\/29), the resistance crumbled as the defending sectional champions cruised to a comprehensive bonus-point victory.<\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Kempton<\/strong> Park<\/strong>, with a dramatic nine-wicket bonus-point triumph over Ho\u00ebrskool Eldoraigne<\/strong>,<\/em> blew the race for a place in the final on 21 February wide open. Their chances of making it to the title game were further aided by Potchefstroom Volkskool<\/strong>, who brought Die Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark<\/strong>‘s two-match winning streak to an end in Potchefstroom.<\/p>\n

Kempies<\/strong><\/em> produced a ruthless bowling display, with Willem van den Berg<\/strong> and Stian van Breda<\/strong> skittling the visiting Eldos<\/strong><\/em> for a paltry 38. Van den Berg<\/strong> led the charge with an outstanding return of 4\/13, while Van Breda<\/strong> captured 3\/5. The pressure of losing seven wickets for 18 runs proved far too much for the visitors, who quickly folded.<\/p>\n

Chasing just 39 for victory, Sheldon Kruger<\/strong> made light work of the task, striking an unbeaten 20 to seal a big win for Kempton Park on home soil.<\/p>\n

The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method was called upon in Volkies<\/strong>‘<\/em> seven-wicket victory over Menlopark. Zander Nel<\/strong>, with 4\/14, and Olefa Padi<\/strong>, with 3\/42, led their efforts in the field, setting up their team for a comfortable run pursuit after sending Parkies <\/strong><\/em>packing for a modest 167.<\/p>\n

With inclement weather closing in, Andries Venter<\/strong> ensured there were no late hiccups, scoring a composed 49 from 64 deliveries and, with good support from AW van der Merwe<\/strong>, who contributed 38, Potch Volkskool passed the DLS target before play was halted.<\/p>\n

The timing of the victory could scarcely have been better for the Potchefstroom school, with just two rounds remaining before the final between the section’s top two.<\/p>\n
