After extremely hot weather over the weekend, rain moved into the coastal areas of KwaZulu-Natal on Monday and wiped out play on the opening day of Kearsney College‘s iHlobo Festival.

The rainfall hasn’t been heavy, but it has been consistent. Matt Savage, coach of the Kearsney 1st XI, told SuperSport Schools that the organisers hope to get in a T20 game or two on Tuesday afternoon, with the rain expected to stop somewhere around midday to mid-afternoon. The fields drain pretty well, he said, but a lot of rain has fallen.

For the first three days of the festival, 50-over games were scheduled, with a T20 on Thursday, but it has now become a case of hoping to get a T20 in on any day when the weather allows it.

Last year, the switch to the shorter format when rain fell allowed some matches to be completed, but, according to the weather forecasts, it might be only on Thursday that matches are played. That’s when there’s a slight chance of rain. On Tuesday, the forecast of rain is at 65 percent, and on Wednesday it rises to 78 percent.

Die eerste dag van die tweede Kovsie Smash-toernooi is gekortwiek deur nat weer in die Rosestad, maar dit het nie die gasheer, Hoërskool Fichardtpark, verhoed om ‘n eerste oorwinning te behaal nie.

Dit was die Fichies se boulers, gelei deur Dylan Greninger, wat die eerste houe geland het in hul kragmeting met Hoërskool Driehoek, om die besoekers van Vanderbijlpark vir ‘n skamele 57 lopies uit te haal. Greninger se 2/9 in sy toegelate vier beurte het 20 leë balle bevat, wat die druk vierkantig op die Driehoek-kolwers geplaas het.

Nathan Ackerman en Devante Claasens het ook nie op hulle laat wag nie, met boulsyfers van 2/15 elk, om te verseker dat die laaste paaltjie reeds in die 17de beurt kantel.

Jaden Geldenhuys het daarna sy stempel met die kolf afgedruk as openingskolwer en twee viere en een ses gemoker vir 31 lopies van slegs 28 aflewerings. Dit het die tuisspan met gemak in die negende beurt oor die wenstreep geneem en vroeg reeds ‘n waarskuwing aan die ander spanne in die toernooi gerig.

Niel Wilken het die toernooi se eerste 50-tal gemoker om Jim Fouché tot ‘n gemaklike sege met ses paaltjies oor Hoërskool Upington te lei. Nadat die Bloemfonteiners aanvanklik in die sop was met hul telling op 45/4, het Wilken kop gehou. Sy onoorwonne beurt van 51 het ses grenshoue, vyf viere en ‘n ses, bevat.

Die Speler van die Wedstryd-toekenning het egter aan Duan Bastone gegaan. Bastone se oes van vier paaltjies vir net 21 lopies in sy toegelate vier beurte was altemit die rede hoekom Wilken en kie slegs ‘n teiken van 104 moes jaag.

Vir Upington het Ruann Esterhuizen uitgestaan. Die toporde-kolwer het die druk uitstekend absorbeer en steeds sy normale houe gespeel om uiteindelik met 49 lopies van slegs 44 aflewerings te spog. Hy sal vorentoe egter beter bystand van sy medekolwers verwag.

Dian Gouws en Stephan Swanepoel het tot Hoërskool Pietersburg se redding gekom na ‘n stadige begin met die bal. Die besoekers uit Limpopo se boulers het duidelik gesukkel met ritme.

Nadat hulle 33 ekstras afgestaan het, iets waarmee afrigter, Corne Craig, self ‘n kranige naatbouler op sy dag, nie tevrede sou wees nie, het Gouws en Swanepoel uiteindelik sewe paaltjies tussen die twee van hulle laat spat. Gouws het vier laat kantel vir net 11 lopies, terwyl Swanepoel se draaiers vir nóg drie paaltjies gesorg het.

Celliers van der Merwe het ‘n moeilike begin met die bal agter hom gesit en leiding met die kolf geneem. Sy blitsige 32 lopies het die Pieties uiteindelik gemaklik teen Witteberg laat seëvier.

Bokang Mohasa het van voor gelei met sowel die bal as kolf in Hoërskool Trio se oorwinning met vyf paaltjies oor Voortrekker van Bethlehem. Mohasa het eers die Voortrekker-kolwers laat bontstaan met ‘n boulskof wat drie paaltjies opgelewer het en dit opgevolg met ‘n puik kolfbeurt van 28.

Myburgh Jacobs het egter die die kollig gesteel met die kolf, met ‘n onoorwonne 34 lopies wat van slegs 15 aflewerings gekom het.

HTS Middelburg was die enigste span wat op die eerste oggend daarin kon slaag om hul telling suksesvol te verdedig. WJ Enslin, ook ‘n uitstekende rugbyspeler, het Sentraal se boulers gekasty met 39 lopies, wat die span van Middelburg in staat gestel het om ‘n verdedigbare telling van 115/9 aan te teken.

Marinus Enslin en Henco Britz het dit beaam deur elk drie paaltjies te laat kantel vir slegs 15 lopies gesamentlik, om Sentraal vir ‘n teleurstellende 59 almal uit te boender en ‘n sege van 56 lopies te verseker.

Beknopde telkaarte: 

Driehoek 57 (Janco Smith 14; Dylan Greninger 2/9, Nathan Ackerman 2/15, Devante Claasens 2/15); Fichardtpark 60/3 (Jaden Geldenhuys 31; Rico Kruger 2/4). Fichardtpark wen met sewe paaltjies.

Witteberg 102/8 (Ekstras 33, Xander Fourie 23; Dian Gouws 4/11, Stephan Swanepoel 3/11); Hoërskool Pietersburg 103/5 (Celliers van der Merwe 32, Jan-Hendrik Boneshance 29; Anru Erasmus 3/9, Mila Oerson 2/19). Hoërskool Pietersburg wen met vyf paaltjies.

Bethlehem Voortrekker 105 (Jayden Strydom 30, Ruan Heunis 21; Bokang Mohasa 3/19, WJ van Niekerk 2/14); Trio 106/5 (Myburgh Jacobs 34*, Bokang Mohasa 28; Rodney Turner 3/23). Trio wen met vyf paaltjies.

In a proud and symbolic moment, the South Africa u19 Women’s World Cup Squad were officially capped at a special ceremony at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town on Sunday.

The event, themed ‘Capping Future Stars of the Game,’ was held during Day 3 of the Proteas Men’s Test match against Pakistan, marking the Junior Proteas’ final preparations for the second edition of the ICC u19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025.

The tournament, set to take place in Malaysia from 18 January to 02 February 2025, will see South Africa making its second appearance on the global stage. Drawn in Group C, the SA u19 Women will face Samoa, New Zealand, and fellow African side Nigeria in the group stages.

Head Coach Dinesha Devnarain, who continues to lead the team with passion, praised the players’ readiness for the challenge:

“We’ve worked hard over the last 18 months to ensure that we take the best 15 players to the World Cup. I’m particularly pleased with the eight returning players who have put in the hard yards and earned their place again. This is a unique group of players, some of whom have already been exposed to senior cricket, which will be crucial in bringing experience to the team.

“The level of cricket in the Women’s Pro Series has also helped elevate our players to a higher standard, and that experience is vital. We always emphasise transferring learnings from domestic cricket or past World Cups to the younger players who haven’t had that exposure.

“We are focused on the task ahead and confident that the team will do South Africa proud,” said Devnarain.

The team will remain in the Cape Winelands until 10 January, based at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport, where they will play in three T20 practice matches against the USA u19 Women on 06, 07, and 08 January. These games are a critical part of the team’s preparation, along with official World Cup warm-up matches against Ireland on 13 January and India on 15 January.

As the SA U19 Women’s team prepares to compete on the world stage, CSA calls on all South Africans to rally behind these future stars.

A new champion will be crowned at Cricket South Africa’s Cubs Week (for u19 players), which is being played in Stellenbosch.

The 2024 winners, the Northern Champions, were comprehensively outplayed by the Western Legends on Sunday, going down by seven wickets. With the win on the Coetzenberg Oval, the Legends also maintained their unbeaten record.

The left-handed spin bowler Nathan Rossouw removed five batsmen from the crease for only 29 runs, which led to the Champions being bowled out for a mediocre 150 runs. Divan de Villiers (43) was the only batsman to provide notable resistance.

Meyer Pretorius (2/20) and Kamohelo Mokoena (2/29) were also among the wickets.

The Legends’ opening batsmen, Christian Kind (54) and Naudé Botha (30) laid the foundation for their side’s victory with an 80-run partnership.

Ruben Maree (30*) and Dakalo Leketa (22*) then combined for an unbroken 31 for the fourth wicket to see the Legends to victory. On Monday, they’ll face the United States of America in the semi-finals.

The home side, the Southern Superstars, added another win to their clean record, scoring a comfortable seven-wicket victory over the Eastern Warriors, which was highlighted by Daniel Bosman (75*) and Enathi Kitshini (38*), who shared an unbeaten partnership of 111 runs for the fourth wicket.

The Warriors posted a respectable total of 256/6 in their 50 overs, thanks to half-centuries by Cayden Wilson (75*), Randy Syce (58), and Kian Cambier (50).

The Superstars’ reward is a semi-final showdown with the Coastal Conquerors on Monday.

The Conquerors were on fire on the third day of competition, with Semal Pillay (110) recording a century to help his side tally a mammoth 335/7 in their allotted overs. He and Ben Hockley (86) got stuck into Namibia’s bowlers from the start, sharing a big 158-run partnership for the first wicket.

Bandile Mbatha delivered another strong all-round performance for the Conquerors, striking an unbeaten half-century (62*), which he followed up with a five-wicket haul for only 38 runs.

The USA secured their semi-final place with a narrow five-run victory over the Central Gladiators.

Die eerste toernooi in 2024 het vir hope aksie gesorg en was verál ‘n spesiale geleentheid vir Hoërskool Wesvalia van Klerksdorp. Die Wessies het die oorhand in al hul wedstryde geniet en is uiteindelik, na ‘n sege met 10 paaltjies oor Hoërskool Middelburg in die eindstryd, as kampioen gekroon.

Die 20 deelnemende skole is in vier groepe ingedeel en meet voor die uitspeelrondes elkeen een keer teen mekaar kragte. Elke dag bied twee rondes aksie wat krieketliefhebbers en die onderskeie skole se ondersteuners op die punte van hul stoele sal hou. Die wedstryde begin daagliks onderskeidelik om 09:00 en 14:00.

Die Wessies loods vanjaar die verdediging van hul titel teen die nuwelinge van agter Limpopo se Sitrusgordyn, Merensky Landbou Akademie. Die span van Tzaneen durf die lang pad na die Vrystaat aan in die plek van Middelburg Hoërskool, wat nie aan vanjaar se toernooi deelneem nie.

Die groot uitdaging vir die Plasies is om verlede jaar se speler van die toernooi, Eduard Dreyer, so vroeg as moontlik terug pawiljoen toe te stuur. Dreyer het in die eerste aanbieding van die Kovsie Smash met ‘n totaal van 281 lopies en 15 paaltjies deur die week gespog, maar dit was verál met die kolf dat hy menige teenstanders gekasty het.

Sy ouer broer en Khaya Majola speler, Marneau Dreyer en Ethan Walker, die ander twee van die drie Wessies wat verlede jaar in die toernooi se span van die week aangewys is, keer vanjaar saam met Dreyer terug.

Fichardtpark as gasheer sal sy staal teen Hoërskool Driehoek toets in ‘n wedstryd wat heelwat opwinding beloof, terwyl die ander Bloemfonteinse vertoonwoordigers, Hoërskool Jim Fouché, sy week op ‘n hoë noot wil afskop teen Hoërskool Upington. Daar is wel verteenwoordiging vanuit Middelburg, met Hoër Tegniese Skool Middelburg wat teen Hoërskool Sentraal te staan kom.

Hoërskool Pietersburg keer terug met die doel om vanjaar die eindstryd te haal, maar Witteberg behoort die lewe vir die Pieties moeilik te maak, terwyl Hoërskool Kalahari en Goudveld ook sal sorg vir ‘n naelbytstryd op die Universiteit van die Vrystaat se C-veld.

Duineveld sê vir Oos-Moot die stryd aan, terwyl daar ‘n reuse derby wag op die Tommix Ovaal wanneer Hoërskool Trio en Bethlehem Voortrekker se paaie om 09.00 kruis.

Hoërskool Despatch, Transvalia, Hoërskool Rustenburg en Overvaal moet ‘n bietje langer wag om hul veldtogte aan die gang te kry. Witteberg is Despatch se eerste hekkie, terwyl die manne van Vanderbijlpark kan uitsien na ‘n liplekker-stryd teen HTS Middelburg.

Die Rusties, wat in 2024 as die Noordwes Schools SA20-kampioen gekroon is, rig hul visier op die Oosies, terwyl Overvaal die gevaar uit Kroonstad, Hoërskool Trio, moet aandurf.

The annual Peninsula Cricket Festival is without a doubt where the heavyweights of South African schoolboy cricket get together to test their mettle.

Catch all the action live on SuperSport Schools (www.supersportschools.com).

During the opening day of the festival there is a couple of matches to look forward to. The encounter between Diocesan College or Bishops as they are better known as, will take on St Stithians College on the Frank Reid Oval.

Saints had four former pupils – Wiaan Mulder, Kwena Maphaka, Ryan Rickelton and Kagiso Rabada in action for the Proteas in the recent test against Pakistan at Newlands in Cape Town. Maphaka, who is still waiting on his matric results, made his test debut in this test.

Wynberg Boys’ High is hosting the Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool of Pretoria in their first encounter of the festival on the Jacques Kallis Oval. Affies’ Vihan Pretorius and Ruben Groenewald won’t be in action against Wynberg as they are still representing the Northern Champions during the final day of Cricket South Africa’s Cubs Week in Stellenbosch.

Wynberg Boys’ High is also not at full strength during the opening clash as their captain, Paul James, is one of the key players for the Southern Superstars as they will lock horns with the United States of America’s u19-side in the final of this year’s Cubs Week.

Rondebosch Boys’ High will host Pretoria Boys’ High during their first encounter of 2025. The home side will also be missing Daniel Bosman who is in action at the Cubs Week. They however still have stalwarts in their squad like captain, Daniel Cooke, and Noah Heath.

Waterkloof of Pretoria will be looking forward to their match against Paul Roos Gimnasium of Stellenbosch on the second day.

Two days into Cricket South Africa’s annual Cubs Week, only two teams – the Southern Superstars and the Western Legends – remain unbeaten after Saturday’s action in Stellenbosch.

The competition for the top spot is wide open, however, as last year’s winners, the aptly named Northern Champions, and the Coastal Conquerors still have a chance to make the top four with one round of pool matches left. They’re in the same pool as the Western Legends.

The Conquerors face Namibia on Sunday and will be favoured to bag a bonus-point victory. The Champions and Legends meet and if the Legends suffer a first loss, they could miss out on a semi-final place.

The Legends’ opening batsman Muhammed Bulbulia (122) recorded the second century of the 2025 tournament on Saturday as his side eased to an 88-run victory over Namibia. He faced 142 deliveries and dispatched 11 of those to the boundary.

Bulbulia and Ruben Maree (54) shared a 107-run partnership for the second wicket, which helped their side to a challenging 274/9 from their 50 overs. Junior Kariata was the pick of the Namibian bowlers, picking up three wickets for 39 runs.

Meyer Pretorius (3/19) again spearheaded the Legends’ bowling attack and was well supported by Nathan Rossouw (3/25).

The Conquerors kept their chances of a semi-final spot alive with a four-wicket victory over the Champions on Coetzenburg Oval. They did, however, miss out on bagging a bonus point.

The Champions were in deep trouble early on, stumbling out of the blocks and slumping to 55/6 in the 19th over. Jaden Govender (76*) and Charl Prinsloo (41), however, combined for a crucial 98-run partnership for the seventh wicket, which dragged the defending champs to 196/9 after their 50 overs.

Bandile Mbatha (2/15), Rowen Rajah (2/16), Nqobani Mokoena (2/18) and Shahzaad Perumal (2/33) all caused the Champions’ batting line-up problems. Mbatha also added 28 valuable runs with the bat.

A partnership of 110 runs for the second wicket between Semal Pillay (61) and Ross Coetzee (49) then laid the foundation for the KZN side’s victory.

The Superstars, the local side, is the only team that has already secured a place in the semi-finals. They ran out the winners by five wickets over the Central Gladiators on Saturday.

SA Schools’ captain, Beni Hansen (83) and Unathi Magoloza (42*) shared a 112-run partnership for the fifth wicket, while Paul James (24*) made a telling contribution when he joined Magoloza in the middle to see the Superstars through to victory.

Raeeq Daniels removed four of the Gladiators’ batsmen for only 38 runs in a performance that surely captured the selectors’ attention. They’re putting together a South Africa u19-side to take on England in limited-overs and youth tests.

The United States of America‘s u19 side made waves by romping to a convincing 181-run victory over the Eastern Warriors. Their opening batsmen, Amrinder Gill (88) and Sahil Garg (73) shared a 128-run partnership which was the cornerstone of their team’s healthy 281/7.

A second-wicket partnership of 88 runs between Gill and Utkarsh Srivastava (54) also served to dial up the pressure on the Warriors.

Backing up his side’s good batting performance, the USA’s Advaith Krishna (5/17) picked up the first five-wicket haul of this year’s Cubs Week as the Warriors were skittled for only 100 runs.

The Eastern Warriors sounded a clear warning to the rest of the teams on the opening day of Cricket South Africa’s annual Cubs Week (for u19 teams) in Stellenbosch.

The Warriors narrowly defeated the Central Gladiators by two runs on Friday after posting a massive total of 293/5 in their 50 overs on Maties’ C-field.

Randy Syce (105) recorded the only century of the day in his side’s winning effort. He and Jean Upman (77) shared a decisive 141-run partnership for the third wicket.

The Gladiators’ tail-end batter Tahseen Hanslo almost spoilt the Warriors’ day with his defiant knock of 78 not out coming from only 54 deliveries.

The Southern Superstars defeated the USA u19 team by four wickets on the Coetzenburg Oval. The Americans’ Arjun Mahesh (82) helped his team to a total of 233/8 with his half-century.

The Superstars’ opening batsmen, Adnaan Lagadien (90) and Daniel Bosman (65), led their team’s charge by responding with half-centuries of their own. Together, they put on a 150-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Before their collaboration, their team had been in deep trouble on 12/3.

Last year’s winners, the Northern Champions, will be satisfied after they started their campaign off with a comprehensive nine-wicket victory over Namibia.

Namibia was restricted to just 137 all out, but it could have been worse after they stumbled to 28/5 in their first nine overs. Ben Brassell (42) and Waldo Smith (36) led the recovery and shared an 89-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

Tshegofatso Nthara (3/21) and Sandiswa Yeni (2/17) were the pick of the Champions’ bowling attack.

It took them 26 overs to overhaul the Namibians’ total, with Jorich van Schalkwyk (64*) and Jaden Govender (44*) sharing an unbeaten 92-run second-wicket partnership.

The Western Legends secured a hard-fought two-wicket victory over the Coastal Conquerors. The team’s middle-order batters, Meyer Pretorius (89) and Dakalo Leketa (52), contributed vital innings and enjoyed a 106-run stand for the sixth wicket.

Pretorius also shone with the ball, picking up three wickets for 46 runs.
