129 CRICKET U 16A The side enjoyed a very successful season and the boys began brilliantly but were unable to gain results against Maritzburg College andWestville because of rain, in spite of bowling them out for low totals. The side went on to record a resounding victory over Hilton. As a result of their performances, many boys were called up to the 1st XI which halted the momentum of the side. The boys continued to fight hard but unfor tunately went down to Glenwood, Michaelhouse and St Charles. The closing season saw a rejuvenated and excited side take to the field.The attitude and enthusiasm these boys showed was a joy to watch and this culminated in some fantastic results. They managed to turn around a heavy defeat against Glenwood, bowling them out for 80 and chasing it down, recording a 3 wicket win. We were undefeated in the closing season and fought for each result with tremendous hear t. Special mention must be made of both MatthewWatts and Bradley Por teous who led the side throughout the season. Their passion and understanding of the game cer tainly rubbed off on the boys and they were brilliant with both bat and ball. I would like to thank the boys for such an enjoyable and successful season. Their spor tsmanship both on and off the field was outstanding. Rob Scott Played: 11 Won: 6 Lost: 3 No result: 2 U 16B The side comprised some very talented players who will definitely go onto bigger things in their cricketing futures. The boys worked very hard during practices to sharpen their skills in all aspects of the game. In the opening season the highlight was a win against a strongWestville side. Kearsney won the toss and elected to bat and scored 224 runs in 30 overs. Tremendous batting performances by the Camerons; Richie (42), Craze (60) and Rencken (32) took the game away from the Westville side.Westville was bowled out for 118.. I congratulate the boys on their determination and those who were selected to play for the A side. I also thank them for an enjoyable season.
