Luphelo Mdyesha stars with bat and ball as Graeme College trounce Union
Luphelo Mdyesha played an unforgettable game for Graeme College as they did the double over Union High School in Graaff-Reinet over the weekend.
He took centre stage in their 50-over match on Saturday, scoring 110 runs and taking four wickets, to help thump the hosts in emphatic fashion.
The exciting young talent raced to his ton off of only 79 deliveries, punishing the Union bowlers with 12 fours and three sixes, before he struck down four batsmen, making a mess of the home team’s lower order, to end their innings on only 50 runs, chasing 321.
On Friday, the team from Makhanda beat Union by seven wickets in a T20 clash, with Andrew Muir spearheading their attack and grabbing 4/10 to restrict Union to 62/9. Ryan Stobbs then struck an unbeaten 29 to see Graeme to victory.
Grey High rocked Selborne College by recording a massive 196-run victory, thanks to a superb 132 from Kian Cambier, with Xander Elkington (75) and Teun Kloppenberg (59*) offering substantial support.

The Gqeberha outfit posted a daunting 343/6 in 64 overs before sending their challengers out to bat.
Despite a solid showing by Tré Gilbert, who scored 41 runs in 33 deliveries, Selborne fell well short of their target, stumbling to 147 all out. Elkington starred for Grey in the field, taking four wickets.
An unbeaten century from captain Esa Gangat propelled Pearson to 267/6 from 50 overs in their match against Westering. His knock, and Cayden Wilson‘s 4/16, proved too much for Westering, who buckled to only 51 all out in reply.
