Wynberg and Affies bag resounding victories on Day 2 of Peninsula Festival

Wynberg Boys’ High and Affies both secured ten-wicket victories during the second day of the annual Peninsula Festival.

His opening partner Damien Harris (3/25) also troubled the batsmen from Johannesburg from his end. St Stithians’ Cayden Sunker (26*) was the only batsman of the visitors who managed to navigate the Wynberg bowling onslaught successfully.

Storme van Rooyen (50*) and Qaeed Shaik (23*) got the home side past the target in the 20th over.

The Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool was back at full strength in their second encounter of the festival with Vihan Pretorius and Ruben Groenewald back from Cricket South Africa’s Cubs Week. Both however enjoyed a rest day with the willow as opening batsmen, JP Botha (97*) and Henré Smit (55*), scored the winning runs at the start of the 36th over.

They shared an unbeaten 163-run partnership.

Potchefstroom Gimnasium reached 159/9 before their forced declaration in the 65th over. Jahndré Coetzee (40*) and Lukas Kotze (33) made the biggest contributions with the bat. SF Vermuelen (5/58) picked up a five-wicket haul to help keep the Gimmies at bay.
