Rondebosch bounds to victory in Bish-Bosch derby
Rondebosch Boys’ High made the short trip to Bishops Diocesan College on Saturday for a southern suburbs’ derby a pleasant one by powering their way to a big victory on the Frank Reid Oval.
After bowling out the home side for just less than 200, ‘Bosch batted boldly to gallop to a nine-wicket win in the 50-over fixture.
Bishops’ captain, James Robb-Quinlan, playing his 100th match for the 1st XI, displayed some of his signature talent and hard hitting, blasting four fours and three sixes in scoring 73 from 70 balls.
However, only Daniel Perold, with an unbeaten 26, and Alex Vintcent, with 25, also made it beyond the teens, and then not by much,
Daniel Cooke dispatched both Bishops’ openers, on his way to 2/44 from five overs.
Raa’id Davids caused the hosts further problems, claiming 3/38 in 5.1 overs, including the final wicket of the innings.
Schalk Fourie, meanwhile, halted the home side’s momentum, sending down four maidens in his miserly return of 2/9 from six overs, which helped to hold Bishops to 194 all out after 41.1 overs.
When ‘Bosch batted, Michael Kruiskamp claimed the only wicket for the home side, removing opener Daniel Cooke. By then, though, Cooke had blasted six fours and two sixes in a quickfire 43 off only 24 deliveries.
Eli Aufrichtig and Cooke’s replacement, Adeeb Levy, proceeded to take the game away from Bishops, compiling an unbroken 144-run second-wicket partnership.
Aufrichtig kept the scoreboard ticking, striking nine fours in his undefeated 64 off 87 balls. Adeeb Levy finished as the match’s top scorer, stroking 10 fours in his 77 not out from 76 deliveries.
After only 30.1 overs, Rondebosch eased to 198/1 and victory in the derby with 119 balls to spare.
