Playing in a 65-over, single-innings fixture on Saturday, Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> (PRG)<\/strong> won the toss at home and opted to bat first against Bishops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Batting at three, Janko Webb<\/strong>, the home side’s talisman, was up to the challenge as usual. He cracked nine fours and four sixes in a 105-ball innings, which brought him 95 runs.<\/p>\n

Apart from Webb’s innings, though, it was a tough day for the Paul Roos batsmen, who had few answers for new ball bowler Waco Bassick<\/strong>. In only 10 overs, he captured 7\/21 to inflict huge damage on the hosts’ batting effort.<\/p>\n

Thaafier Japhta<\/strong>, the only other bowler to bowl the full 10-over quota, chipped in with 2\/42 as PRG tallied 162 all out in 40.1 overs.<\/p>\n

Japhta then made his way to the crease after the fall of the first wicket in Bishops’ reply. He made an impact, striking two fours and two sixes in an innings of 54 from 66 balls.<\/p>\n

Imraan Leith<\/strong>, batting at seven, entertained with three fours in his 29, and the pair added 65 runs for the sixth wicket to lift Bishops from a fragile 38\/5 to 103\/6.<\/p>\n

Morn\u00e9 Pauw<\/strong> was the reason that the visitors were on the back foot. He claimed 5\/33, while Dion Slabber<\/strong> picked up 2\/60 in 13.4 overs, and Keeno Loggenberg took <\/strong>2\/33 in eight.<\/p>\n

Bishops, though, found the man for the moment, with Robbie Vintcent<\/strong> keeping Paul Roos at bay while hitting four fours in a crucial and match-winning 38 not out.<\/p>\n

That proved to be just enough as the visitors from Cape Town tallied 163\/9 after 42.4 overs to claim victory by a single wicket.<\/p>\n

Boland Landbou vs Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong><\/p>\n

At their Stiaan van Zyl Oval<\/strong> on Saturday, Boland Landbou<\/strong> chose to field first against Rondebosch Boys’ High <\/strong>in a limited-overs clash.<\/p>\n

Their opening pair, Gunther Schmidt<\/strong> and captain Francois Prins<\/strong><\/a>, ensured that decision paid off, reducing ‘Bosch<\/strong><\/em> to 35\/4 in the early going. Schmidt went on to take 3\/41 in 9.1 overs, while Prins returned 3\/40 from seven overs. Kobus Conradie<\/strong> chipped in with 2\/36 from seven overs.<\/p>\n

Rondebosch’s number five batsman, Schalk Fourie<\/strong>, hit three fours in his innings of 40 runs, while Timothy Short<\/strong>, batting at seven, \u00a0top-scored with 42 off 68 balls, which helped the visitors gradually claw their way back into the game.<\/p>\n

After 48.1 overs, they were all out for 211.<\/p>\n

Boland Landbou’s reply began superbly, with\u00a0Kobus Conradie and Johannes Goosen<\/strong> combining for a 98-run first-wicket stand. Conradie contributed 41 off 75 deliveries, punching four deliveries for four, while Goosen was more aggressive, blasting six fours and three sixes in his 67 off 59.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Farmers, after that outstanding start, their reply fell apart.<\/p>\n

From there, only the skipper, Francois Prins, made it to 20, with the rest of the home side’s batsmen perishing cheaply as Boland Landbou was dismissed for\u00a0176 after 41.3 overs, resulting in a 35-run win for Rondebosch.<\/p>\n

Arin Spiller<\/strong> led the ‘Bosch bowling attack, snapping up 4\/35 in 9.3 overs, while Eli Aufrichtig<\/strong> snatched 2\/9 in five overs and Timothy Short<\/strong><\/a> captured 2\/25 in 10.<\/p>\n

Worcester Gimnasium<\/strong> batted first after winning the toss in their 50-over fixture at Ho\u00ebrskool Strand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Noah Goliath<\/strong>, at four, and Alijandrew Heneke<\/strong>, at six, got the runs flowing for the visitors, advancing the total by 70 runs in their fifth-wicket partnership. Goliath struck four fours and a maximum in his 31 off 58, while Heneke clobbered eight fours in his 53 off 66.<\/p>\n

Strand<\/strong>‘s Cloete de Jager<\/strong> and Keaton Gertze<\/strong> also formed an impressive duo. De Jager sent five batsmen packing for only 14 runs from five overs, while Gertze collected 3\/30 from 9.3 overs as the visitors totalled 158 all out after 34.3 overs.<\/p>\n

When Strand replied, only Caden Jenkins<\/strong>, with 1\/21, and Tayne Smith,<\/strong> with 1\/23, were able to remove batsmen. That’s because the De Jager and Gertze double-act was again at play.<\/p>\n

They directed Strand to victory with an unbroken 105-run fourth-wicket stand. De Jager finished with 50 not out, and Gertze was 52 not out, when a seven-wicket win was achieved in the 41st over.<\/p>\n
