Glenwood triumph against rival Northwood

GLENWOOD enjoyed some good cricketing success  when it defeated Northwood by 6 wickets. Northwood were sent in to bat first and lost a wicket in the very first ball of the innings thanks to opening bowler Nipho Madwe. Both Glenwood opening bowlers created havoc amongst the Northwood top order and Andile Phehlukwayo, who recently returned from India playing for the SA U19 team was also amongst the wickets. Northwood were 15 for 4 at one stage but Van Der Merwe (25) and Rawlings (28) held some composure and managed to help Northwood to 100 all out. The Glenwood innings got off to a rocky start and some careless batting saw the home team reeling at 12 for 4. A responsible innings from opening batsmen Mekhalin Naidoo (27 not out) and Andile Phehlukwayo (50 not out) eventually saw the home team reaching the target and winning the game by 6 wickets. The Glenwood U14A,U15A and U16A teams all recorded wins with a special knock from Jordan Grobbelaar in the U15A team who ended on 168 not out.
