CRICKET U15E The boys in this team developed an amazing bond that was seen both on and off the field. Led by captain B Christopher, they carried out their task in a purposeful manner. The captain was always in control and encouraged his team in every game. It was heart-warming to see the players take instruction from him. a decent haul of wickets. L Landsberg proved handy with the gloves. He initially filled in as keeper but stayed there, developing into a safe pair of hands. Well done to the team and all the best for the year ahead. Regular players: The opening attack of D Furmage and Christopher kept the opposition scoring well within a reachable target. The consistent line and length by these two bowlers often provided an early breakthrough. D Odell and J Ayliff supported the opening pair with some good and accurate bowling. Ayliff took the most wickets for the team with his spin bowling. A Breedt (captain), L Landsberg, D Lutchman, B Merrington, S Miekeljohn, Y Bhika, L Stander, J Hartley, K Naicker, C Harper, S Dlamini , S Maphanga T Johnson displayed his skill with some acrobatic fielding and on some occasions with some nearly impossible catches.
