Grey College and Diamantveld opened up proceedings at the inaugural Diamantveld T20 Cricket Festival under the lights on the Diamond Oval in Kimberley on Friday.

The visitors from Bloemfontein got off to a flying start through their stalwart opener, Juan Viljoen, but the hosts’ spin bowlers did well to contain Grey later on and give their batsmen a realistic target. Grey’s bowling attack was able to cause enough problems for the Diamonds to prevent them from gaining momentum and Grey won the opening match of the weekend by 53 runs.

Viljoen looks to be an extremely exciting T20 prospect for Grey Bloem.

He gave the crowd something to get excited about from the off, scoring 45 from only 22 deliveries, setting the pace with seven boundaries in total with four fours and three sixes.

Viljoen then matched this performance later with the ball in hand, taking two wickets as a bowler and combining well with his captain and wicketkeeper, Hayden Tolmay, for a runout.

His performance in the opening game earned him the man-of-the-match award and he is definitely one to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the weekend.

Darion Rabie also had a solid four overs for the winning team, taking two wickets and conceding a mere 15 runs.

Luhan de la Rey and Nathan Baird bowled very well to contain the visiting batsmen after the initial burst by Grey.

It was a ball by De la Rey that finally dismissed Grey’s talisman, Viljoen, when he couldn’t get a solid connection and Aiden Jacobs took the catch to deny him his half-century.

Though the hosts never really looked on pace to catch the visitors’ total, they played well to see out the 20 overs with Kaiden van Wyk leading their attack with an innings of 27.

This would have been the first time many of these boys got the opportunity to play on the oval, which will stay with them as a cherished memory in the future when some of them will be returning as professionals. Apart from giving the players an opportunity to experience playing in the stadium at night in front of a large crowd, this tournament is also part of Northern Cape Cricket and Diamantveld’s initiative to develop the talent in the area and get the boys playing against some of the strongest teams in the country.

Summarized Scorecard:

Grey College 150/7 (Juan Viljoen 45, Ruben Maree 31, Samu Lephoto 23, Zack Hattingh 21; Danie van der Merwe 2/39, Kaiden van Wyk 2/44); Diamantveld 97/7 (Kaiden van Wyk 27; Darion Rabie 2/15, Juan Viljoen 2/17). Grey College won by 53 runs.

Potchefstroom Gimnasium claimed the mantle as the best in the shortest format in North West after beating Potchefstroom Volkskool in the North West T20 League Final on Thursday.

The Volkies won the toss and decided to bowl first looking to put the Gimmies under early pressure. However, Tommie Botha and Marnu Cronje had other plans as they counterattacked. Botha was the main contributor to the opening partnership.

The opening batter stood firm as he looked to play the anchor role and set a solid platform for those to come, falling just three runs short of a well-deserved half-century, making 47 of 54 deliveries.

Cronje, however, looked to take on the Volkies attack, making a quickfire 27 from 17 balls before he was sent back to the sheds.

After the opening pair’s departure, Volkies struck with two quick, vital wickets coming from the bowling of the impressive Diaan van der Merwe (2/11). Van der Merwe’s remarkable spell somewhat pulled it back for the Volkies, shifting the pressure back to their neighbours.

Righardt Joubert provided the emphasis needed at the back end with a vital, run-a-ball 25, to help his team reach 124/5 in their allotted 20 overs.

Potchefstroom Volkskool also had a wonderful start to their batting innings. Their stalwart southpaw in the top order, Ludwich Schuld, managed to get his side off to a blistering start with his 20 coming from only nine deliveries but had to depart soon after. Schulds’ opening partner, Attie Liebenberg (26, 18b) played wonderfully and together with the top scorer, Louis van Wyk (31, 30b), put Volkies in a comfortable position.

However, an inspiring spell from Christian Viljoen, claiming 3/16, swung the momentum back in the Gimmies’ favour. Viljoen found support from Caiden Seleka (2/9) and Zavier van Rensburg (2/15) as the trio tore through the Volkies lineup, restricting them to 117 all out, with the Volkies falling an agonizing seven runs short of their required target, handing Gimmies the champions mantle of North West.

Summarised scorecard: 

Potchefstroom Gimnasium 124/5 from 20 overs (Tommie Botha 47, Marnu Cronje 27, Righardt Joubert 25; Diaan van der Merwe 2/11); Potchefstroom Volkskool 117/10 from 19.3 overs (Louis van Wyk 31, Attie Liebenberg 26, Ludwich Schuld 20; Christian Viljoen 3/16, Caiden Seleka 2/9, Zavier van Rensburg 2/15). Potchefstroom Gimnasium won by seven runs. 

Kanonkop will be hosting the Heritage Sports Festival this weekend where 16 teams will be competing in the u15 and u17 tournaments for the title and one of the last remaining spots at the High School Sevens Series Champion-of-champions event that takes place at Grey College in Bloemfontein next month.

The boys will be especially looking forward to showing off their skills with the Blitzbokke looking on and providing some entertainment and a showcase of top-quality sevens.

The majority of the teams competing on Saturday were in action at the Hoërskool Middelburg leg of the series last weekend, where last year’s overall winners, Secunda, claimed the crown with a 19-12 victory over Ligbron in the final.

The Middies had to make do with third place at their home tournament but will be hoping to improve on that result this weekend in the absence of Secunda.

Their big local rivals, HTS Middelburg, claimed the Plate last weekend by comprehensively beating Oosterland by 29 unanswered points in the final.

Two wildcards are the visiting Helpmekaar College from Braamfontein and Milnerton from Cape Town.

Helpmekaar’s u15 team were victorious in Bethlehem at the Witteberg sevens tournament two weeks ago, and Milnerton have been competing well against some of the best teams in the country at the various Western Cape meetings over the last couple of weeks.

Kanonkop was knocked out by the eventual Bowl champions, Ermelo, last weekend in the semi-finals by 31-26, and they will be hoping to go further in front of their home crowd.

The Blitzbokke will play three games against the All Stars Academy team, starting after the group stage games at 12:50, before playing again after the semis at 14:50 and finally drawing a line under what promises to be an action-packed weekend with the last game at 17:10 after the finals.

The All Stars Academy is based in Pretoria and run by Ludwiche van Deventer, giving school leavers the opportunity to develop both on and off the field and providing opportunities to play rugby on an international platform.

They regularly play against the Blitzbokke and participate in various international tournaments, including the Dubai Sevens.

The Rolyn Bergsig sevens tournament kicks off early on Saturday morning when the hosts take on Lebone in the opening match.

Bergsig’s Simeon Botha was selected as the player of the tournament last weekend and will be one to watch as the boys from Rustenburg look to recreate that success on Saturday.

The u15s curtain-raiser sees Bergsig take on Wagpos. Jayden Steyn was the standout player for the junior team in the tournament at Randburg.

Florida and Linden played at last weekend’s tournament as well, but there will be some new challengers for the crown in the likes of Frikkie Meyer and Rob Ferreira to get through if the Bergsig boys are to lift the trophy again on Saturday.

Die Frogfoot Noordvaal sewestoernooi skop Vrydag op die Ras van Rooyen veld by Hoërskool Monument af waar die beste sewesspanne in die streek gaan meeding vir die titel.

Monument kon verlede jaar albei titels terugneem in die o.15 en o.17 toernooie nadat EG Jansen in 2021 met die louere kon wegstap.

Verlede naweek was dit egter Noordheuwel wat die pas gestel het by die Monument-been van die Darryl Weir sewesreeks. Die Nories kon in die eindstryd teen Helpmekaar-kollege die loef afsteek met ‘n 28-19 sege.

Secunda was die algehele wenners laas jaar en die span van Mpumalanga het verlede naweek weer witwarm gelyk by die Hoërskool Middelburg sewestoernooi.

Hulle kon deur al ‘n groepswedstryde en die kwarteindstryd kom sonder om ‘n enkele punt af te staan, en kon toe ook die titel neem deur om Ligbron in die eindstryd met 19-12 te verslaan.

Zander Scheepers en Divan Mulder het uitgeblink by daardie byeenkoms, en sal definitief twee spelers wees om hierdie naweek dop te hou.

Waterkloof en Garsfontein lyk albei ook sterk.

Riwan van Aswegen uit Waterkloof is onlangs gekies vir die Blou Bulle sewesspan wat by die nationale kompetisie gaan deelneem.

Die Klofies kon by Montana se sewestoernooi tot by die halfeindronde deurdruk, waar hulle teen Garsfontein vasgeloop het.

Die Blitzbere het daardie trofee gewen deur om vir Affies in ‘n epiese eindstryd met 29-26 weg te sien .

Brooklyn Newman, Garsies se haastige eerstespan skrumskakel was vroeër die jaar al deel van die SA A span en Luann Olivier het die land verteenwoordig by die Statebond Jeugspele in Trinidad en Tobago, waar die SA o.18 sewesspan ‘n derde plek kon losspeel.

Ligbron, uit die Puma-streek, het onttrek uit Poel A, en los vir Garsies dan met ‘n loslootjie, maar hulle sal steeds verby Tom Naude en Wesvalia moet kom.

Hoërskool Pietersburg het hul plek bo-aan die sewesranglys in Limpopo vasgemaak na hulle vir Ben Voster van Tzaneen met 29-7 pakslae kon gee vir die streektitel.

Hierdie naweek kan die beste spanne uit die verskillende streke in die Noordvaal gebied dan ‘n laaste keer hulself meet, voor die groot Kampioen-van-kampioene toernooi wat die 14e Oktober in Pretoria plaasvind.

Die groepwedstryde word almal Vrydag afgehandel voor die uitkloprondes Saterdag oggend begin.

As we get ready for the end-of-year cricket action to get started Somerset College and DF Malan got the ball rolling with a pre-season T20 match on the Taberer Oval on Monday.

The hosts set up an impressive 195/9 with Chad Ayford and Jonno Firth scoring 59 runs each.

Ayford opened for Somerset College and smashed seven quick sixes to get to his total in only 22 deliveries.

Firth repeated the trick off of only 40 balls, adding seven fours and three sixes to his tally.

The hosts then backed up their dominant batting display with some efficient bowling, containing the DF Malan batsmen to 79/9.

Thomas Parsons took three wickets and only conceded four runs in his three overs.

Erian Vorster managed to survive long enough to score 33 runs for the visitors, but their opening five batsmen were dismissed for a combined total of only seven runs by the effective Somerset College bowling attack and they never managed to gain any real momentum.

Their u15 teams also faced off and Somerset College won that match by 58 runs.

The hosts scored 156/5 in 20 overs with Dawid de Klerk contributing 45.

They then bowled out the DF Malan boys with only one ball left in the game for 98 to secure the double for Somerset College on the day.

They face Fairmont High School on Saturday for a 50 Overs match before the Cape Schools festival at the end of the month.

Summarized Scorecard:

Somerset College 195/9 (Chad Ayford 59, Jonno Firth 59, Callum Hughes 26, Extras 20; Daniel du Plessis 2/24, Benjamin Grobler 2/38, Charl Botha 2/46); DF Malan 79/9 (Erian Vorster 33; Thomas Parsons 3/4, Dion Claassens 2/10). Somerset College won by 115 runs.

 

Op die gebied van sport skyn sekere individue helderder en Kyla Dames (18), ‘n leerling aan Hoër Meisieskool Paarl, staan as ‘n merkwaardige talent, wat deur die jare haar stempel op die netbalbaan afgedruk het.

Kyla was in graad-4 toe haar afrigter haar potensiaal raakgesien het en haar na die senterposissie geskuif het. Dit is ook hier waar sy besef het sy ‘n groot liefde vir die sport het.

Deur haar skoolloopbaan was Kyla se prestasies in netbal indrukwekkend waar sy deurgaans op skool uitgeblink het, ‘n plek in Hoër Meisieskool Paarl se eerstespan behaal het en merkwaardige mylpale bereik het.

In 2016 het sy ‘n plek in die Westelike Provinsie o.11-span verwerf en die span as kaptein gelei. Die volgende jaar het sy, weer as kaptein, gesorg dat die Wes-Kaap o.12-span ‘n bronsmedalje verower het. In 2018 het Kyla se leierskap as kaptein voortgegaan met die Wes-Kaap o.13-span wat silwer gewen het. Haar toppunt as kaptein was in 2019 toe die Wes-Kaapse o.14-span ‘n glorieryke goue oorwinning behaal het.

Kyla se toewyding het verder as haar tuisland gestrek aangesien sy Suid-Afrika in die aksienetbalspan verteenwoordig het tydens ‘n toer na Australië en bygedra tot oorwinnings in die nasionale toernooi.

Tenspyte van ‘n terugslag weens ‘n besering in 2022, het die Hoër Meisieskool Paarl se eerste span met die louere as kampieone by die Wildeklawer-toernooi weggestap en ‘n tweede plek in die land by DStv Topskole behaal.

In 2023 het haar leierskapsvaardighede op die voorgrond getree toe sy dieselfde span tot ‘n merkwaardige derde plek in die land by DStv Schools Challenge gelei het.

Kyla was ook deel van die Wes-Kaapse o.18-span waar sy weer as kaptein gesorg het dat die span van ‘n goue medalje vir haar provinsie verseker het.

Haar bydraes het haar ook ‘n plek in die gesogte SA o.18-groep besorg, waar sy uitgestaan het as die beste senterbaanspeler van die toernooi.

Onder haar talle prestasies was Kyla se uitstaande prestasie om as die algehele beste speler by die Wildklawer-toernooi aangewys te word waar sy met van die land se beste skolenetbalspelers meegeding het vir die titel.

Kyla streef daarna om vir Maties te speel en hoop sy kry die geleentheid om te proef vir Tornados of Stings.

Haar groot droom reik egter selfs verder – die Suncorp League in Australië, waar die wêreld se beste netbalspelers op die hoogste vlak meeding.

Onder die vele hoogtepunte van Kyla se merkwaardige jaar, staan die interskole-wedstryd teen Paarl Gimnasium uit.

Terwyl die matrieks hul skoolloopbaan vaarwel roep het, het Kyla en haar span oorwinning behaal – nog ‘n hoogtepunt wat sy by haar storie gevoeg het.

As dit by rolmodelle kom, kyk Kyla op na Steph Wood wat Australië se Diamonds verteenwoordig en haar netbaleienskappe van harde werk en kalmte op die baan.

Die sterspeler is dankbaar vir ouers wat haar motiveer en haar dryfkrag agter haar talent is en sluit haar skolenetbalseisoen met dankbaarheid af.

 

 

 

Hoërskool Upington se netbalspanne het vanjaar ‘n merkwaardige prestasie behaal toe vier van hul netbalspanne in verskillende ouderdomsgroepe – o.14, o.15, o.16 en o.19 in die liga meegeding het wat begin het by streek, distrik en dan die provinsiale uitspele.

Die spanne het vele hoogtepunte beleef met hul gesamentlike kwalifisering van al hul oorspronklike ligaspanne vir die gesogte Suid-Afrikaanse-netbaltoernooi.

By die provinsiale uitspeelwedstryde het Upington se netbalspanne uitsonderlike talent en spanwerk getoon en die volgende posisies in die Noord-Kaap verseker: o.14 – 1ste plek, o.15 – 2de plek, o.16 – 1ste plek en o.19 – 2de plek.

Die spogprestasies het nie daar gestop nie en die netbalspanne het indrukwekkende ranglysprestasies ná intense uitspeelwedstryde behaal.

Die o.14-span het die 20ste plek behaal, die o.15-span het die 8ste plek behaal, die o.16-span het die tiende plek behaal, en die o.19-span het die 23ste plek behaal.

Uppies se netbalspanne was gelukkig om onder die mentorskap van gesoute professionele persone te staan ​​wat ‘n deurslaggewende rol in hul sukses gespeel het. Esmarie Botha het die o.14-span gelei, Marline Basson het die o.15 Span afgerig, en die o.16 en o.19-spanne is kundig gelei deur Christine Esterhuizen.

Die Hoërskool Randburg se Mignon la Grange het haar atletiekseisoen met twee stewige vertonings tydens die eerste Egoli-byeenkoms in die UJ-stadion in Johannesburg afgeskop.

La Grange het met haar vertonings in die gewigstoot en diskus vir meisies o.17 die twee beste vertonings deur ‘n meisie op die byeenkoms gelewer.

Sy het in die gewigstoot losgetrek en die ysterbal op 15.85m laat grondvat. Dit het aan haar ‘n totaal van 961 punte besorg. Renscha van Wyk (Hoërskool Klerksdorp) en Nicole Alberts (Helpmekaar-kollege) het onderskeidelik tweede en derde albei met beste pogings van 13.25m.

La Grange was in die diskus met ‘n poging van 41.97m baas. Dit is nog nie naby haar beste afstand van verlede seisoen van 50.10m tydens die Tuks Top 10 nie, maar nogstans ‘n goeie afstand om die seisoen mee te begin.

Helpmekaar se Keira Pienaar het in die o.16-afdeling vir meisies in die gewigstoot en diskus onderskeidelik met afstande van 13.16m en 38.56m goue medaljes verower.

Randburg se naelloper Chane Vermeulen het ook ‘n uitmuntende byeenkoms beleef deur in die 100m en 200m vir meisies o.17 koning te kraai. Vermeulen het die 100m in 12.16 sekondes afgeblits, terwyl sy in 24.27 sekondes eerste oor die eindstreep in die 200m was.

Haar spanmaat Kaili Botje was in albei nommers kort op haar hakke in onderskeidelik 12.19 sekondes en 24.68 sekondes oor die eindstreep.

Caylen Jenkins van die Hoërskool Noordheuwel, het haar seisoen ook met twee stewige vertonings in die kort- sowel as die lang-hekkies vir meisies o.15 begin.

Sy het goud in die 90m-hekkies in ‘n tyd van 13.63 sekondes verower. In die 300m-hekkies het sy ook geen gelyke in ‘n tyd van 46.11 sekondes gehad nie.

In die 90m-hekkies vir meisies o.14 het Klerksdorp se Kate-Lynn Fourie ook ‘n stewige vertoning gelewer. Sy het dié nommer in 13.75 sekondes gewen om 922 punte op die table te verdien.

Julindi Wilkins ook van Klerksdorp sal ook meer as tevrede met haar vertoning in die spiesgooi vir meisies o.16 voel. Sy het die spies 43.27 meter vêr geslinger.
