His contribution was 21 from 42 balls.<\/p>\n<p>The Rondebosch innings lasted 43.2 overs and ended with the hosts all out for 132.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nico Loggenberg<\/strong> turned the screws on Rondebosch, sending down 10 miserly overs of spin, which brought him a fantastic return of 3\/14.<\/p>\n<p>The opening bowlers, <strong>Zian Labuschagne<\/strong> and <strong>Armin Snyman<\/strong>, were effective, too. Labuschagne knocked over 3\/24 in nine overs, while <strong>Snyman<\/strong> got rid of both openers and finished with 2\/35 from eight.<\/p>\n<p>Affies then made light work of the run chase, with <strong>AJ Morkel<\/strong> ending the weekend as he started it: <a href=\"https:\/\/ssschoolsplus.co.za\/pretorius-leads-affies-to-win-at-wynberg-parel-vallei-cruises-past-reddam\/\"><strong>with another match-winning performance.<\/strong><\/a> The opener thumped nine fours and blasted two sixes in an undefeated 76 off 73, while his opening partner <strong>Dylan Stander<\/strong> weighed in with 42 off 60 as the pair took the visitors to the brink of victory with a 119-run first-wicket stand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arin Spiller<\/strong> earned the home side&#8217;s sole wicket when he bowled Stander. His tidy spell brought him 1\/10 in five overs.<\/p>\n<p>It was Affies&#8217; day, though, and they reached 133\/1 after 23.5 overs to record a handsome nine-wicket victory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Roos Gimnasium vs Grey College<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Stellenbosch, <strong>Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> <strong>(PRG)<\/strong> batted first after winning the toss in their limited-overs match against <strong>Grey College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors, after wins over <a href=\"https:\/\/ssschoolsplus.co.za\/affies-morkel-hits-ton-at-paul-roos-grey-college-powers-past-paarl-gim\/\"><strong>Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ssschoolsplus.co.za\/grey-college-wins-at-boishaai-durbanville-survives-boland-landbou\/\"><strong>Paarl Boys&#8217; High<\/strong><\/a>, were aiming to make it three out of three on the weekend, and their attack came out with all guns blazing.<\/p>\n<p>Opening bowler <strong>Juan Maree<\/strong> heaped pressure on PRG, delivering three maidens in his 10 overs. He completed them with a tidy haul of 2\/24, and was primarily responsible for the hosts&#8217; early struggles, which left them on 39\/3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aiden Titus<\/strong>, who entered after the fall of the second wicket, provided the home side with some stability, hitting four fours in an otherwise conservative 36 runs off 65 balls.<\/p>\n<p>All the way down the order, at eight, <strong>Dion Slabber<\/strong> did a good job with the tailenders, farming the strike while chipping in with 32.<\/p>\n<p>After their 50 overs, Paul Roos had posted 197\/9.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christian Kind<\/strong>, batting third for Grey College, led their run pursuit, striking the ball cleanly, which brought him 11 fours and 81 runs from 93 balls.<\/p>\n<p>Juan Maree showed off his all-round game by contributing 27 from 31 balls, which was Grey&#8217;s second-best individual score.<\/p>\n<p>The Paarl Roos bowlers enjoyed success, though. <strong>Roux Joubert<\/strong> snapped up an impressive 4\/46, while <strong>Keeno Loggenberg<\/strong> claimed 2\/49. It was left to Dion Slabber to wrap up a slim victory, however. He bowled Michael Sacks in the 43rd over, stopping Grey&#8217;s reply at 187 all out, to finish with a telling return of 3\/30 from 9.2 overs.<\/p>\n<p>It was tight, but PRG&#8217;s 10-run win prevented Grey College from returning home with a clean record from their Boland sojourn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summarised Scorecards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rondebosch Boys&#8217; High 132\/10<\/strong> (Tyler Heyns 47, Zion van Rensburg 21; Nico Loggenberg 3\/14, Zian Labuschagne 3\/24, Armin Snyman 2\/35); <strong>Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool 133\/1<\/strong> (AJ Morkel 76*, Dylan Stander 42). <strong>Affies won by nine wickets.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Roos Gimnasium 197\/9<\/strong> (Aiden Titus 36, Dion Slabber 32, Roux Joubert 23, Christiaan Fouch\u00e9 22, Marcus Conradie 22; Juan Maree 2\/24); <strong>Grey College 187\/10<\/strong> (Aiden Dodd 81, Juan Maree 27, Peter le Roux 26, Daniel Hattingh 22; Roux Joubert 4\/46, Dion Slabber 3\/30, Keeno Loggenberg 2\/49). <strong>Paul Roos won by 10 runs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rondebosch Boys&#8217; High vs Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool Rondebosch Boys&#8217; High chose to bat first at home in a 50-over bout against Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool (Affies) when the toss went their way on Sunday. &#8216;Bosch, though, struggled to create momentum against the visitors&#8217; disciplined attack.
