Junior Cricket vs Kingswood

This past weekendโ€™s cricket matches between Union High School, Graaff-Reinet and Kingswood College, South Africa, contested in Makhanda, saw Unionโ€™s u/11A and u/13A teams achieve mixed success in a series of entertaining and closely contested games.

โ€ข On Friday, 22 September, Unionโ€™s u/11 team displayed their impressive bowling skills as they bowled Kingswood out for a score of 63 runs. Unionโ€™s bowlers all delivered excellent performances, with each managing to chip in with wickets. ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ, ๐—จ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐Ÿฏ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ, ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ/๐Ÿณ.

Kingswood passed the target with just one wicket down.

โ€ข The Union u/13 team found themselves in a similar position on Friday, losing the toss and being asked to bowl first. Kingswood scored an impressive 127 runs, with ๐—๐—ผ๐—ต๐—ป ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ž๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด and ๐—๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ฉ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ each taking three or more wickets.
