Union High School 2nd Team Shines in Dominant Win Over Volkskool 1st Team!
Union High School’s 2nd cricket team delivered a commanding performance against Volkskool’s 1st team in a recent T20 clash.
After winning the toss, Union opted to bat first and posted a competitive total of 147 runs. The batting innings was anchored by Neelon Fourie, who impressed with a top score of 48 runs off 38 balls, showing great composure and stroke play.
In response, Volkskool struggled against Unionโs relentless bowling attack and were bowled out well short of the target. The standout bowler was Dwayne Koeberg, who was 3 change bowler with an excellent spell of 3 wickets in 4 overs.
Union High Schoolโs 2nd team secured a comprehensive 80-run victory, a testament to their skill, discipline, and team spirit.
