Western Province also came out on top by 146 runs against KwaZulu-Natal in the main match of the Khaya Majola Week at the Coetzenberg Oval here.
James is the first player from Wynberg Boys’ High to be named SA Schools’ captain. The first SA Schools’ side was chosen back in 1940.

Mfunelwa was also named the Player of the Tournament for his efforts during the week.
Waqu, Nathan Jacobs (Boland), and Richard Seletswane (Gauteng) added a second SA Schools’ Cap to their collection. Meeka-eel Prince who represented the side last year in Potchefstroom did not make the cut this year. Prince was also not named in the SA Colts side.
