The shellacking they received in the field was not, however, the end of Hilton’s misfortunes as the Bishops’ dangerman with the ball, Peyton Leigh, ripped the heart out of the Hilton batting line-up, knocking over 7 for 44, as the boys from the KZN midlands were restricted to only 138 all out.
Rondebosch Boys’ High’s Daniel Bosman (106*) and David Simon (102*) also put together a masterclass in longer format batting, with both scoring outstanding centuries. They shared an unbeaten 192-run partnership for the sixth wicket, which enabled their side to declare on 303/5 after 58 overs.
Time, however, caught up to the Capetonians, as the batsmen from St David’s Marist hung on for a draw.
A wonderful 135 runs from Wynberg Boys’ High‘s Divan Linde was countered by a fighting unbeaten 106 by Waterkloof‘s Franco Cronjé and a half-century from the superb Divan Behrens (79). It was, however, an unbroken 134-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Cronjé and Franco Schmidt (28*) which breathed new life into the Klofies’ innings after a long day in the field to secure a draw.
Adam Cannata and Aaeron Edwards’ excellent bowling spells gave Pretoria Boys’ High the upper hand after the first innings against St Charles College. Cian Fortmann was the only one who had any answers with the willow in hand. He contributed the highest score of 47 for Saints in a disappointing total of 126 for the side from Pietermaritzburg.
Pretoria Boys’ High had no trouble chasing down the 127 runs they required for victory. Their opening batsmen, Marc van der Merwe (71*) and Luke Marshall (50*), saw them to a comfortable 10-wicket win.
Affies enjoyed the better of their draw against SACS. They totalled 307/8, thanks to half-centuries by Ruben Groenewald (92) and Henré Smith (69).
