U/15 Cricket vs HVS – Results

On Saturday, 30 January, Union High School’s u15A cricket team delivered a composed performance against their Hoรซr Volkskool Graaff-Reinet counterparts, securing a 110-run victory.

After winning the toss, Union elected to bat first and built a competitive total of 159 runs, with ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฃ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜€ leading the way with a top score of 29. The boys showed great determination at the crease, working patiently and supporting one another to set a strong foundation for the match.

Defending their total, Unionโ€™s bowlers produced a dominant display. ๐—ž๐˜„๐—ฒ๐˜‡๐—ถ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฎ was outstanding, delivering a superb spell of 6 overs, including 2 maidens and claiming 3 wickets for just 8 runs.

He was well supported by ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐—ค๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ณ๐˜‚, who added further pressure with 3 wickets for 17 runs.

Together, the bowling attack dismantled the Volkskool batting lineup and sealed a comprehensive win.
