Mr C Barnsley
U14G
The U14G cricket team enjoyed a year of mixed results – of the six games
that were played and completed, the team managed to win three. Fixtures
were often compromised by rain and unavailability of opposition. The spirit
in which the boys played the game should be commended as they always
gave a hundred percent effort during practice as well as on match day and
it was clearly evident in their faces that they enjoyed the game. Although
we played Westville four times in the year, each game was competitive and
the boys were never short of motivation to perform. I wish the boys well in
their College and cricket journey and express special thanks to the parents
who always lent their support from the sidelines.
Regular players:
It was a highly successful year for the U14H cricket team, winning four of
their five games. The team was well led by R Vincent who led from the front
with some wonderful knocks at the top of the order. Other notable batsmen
included T van den Berg who played many destructive innings later down
the order, and who also kept wicket extremely well for the entire season,
and N Allen who opened the batting alongside Vincent. Allen gave the
team a rock to play around with his cool head and solid defensive ability.
Notable bowlers were Z Osman, who opened the bowling with a mixture
of pace and control, N Nkalakata whose brutal pace was feared by all,
and A Ebrahim who spun a web of deception around his opponents with
some wonderful off-spin.
It was also a successful season for the U14I team which had an unbeaten
season. The team not only won each of their matches, but also won by
substantial margins, dominating their opponents week after week with
superior skill and performance.
