Khosa seniors dominate weekend fixtures
Khosa senior cricketers had their opponents at sixes and sevens during a weekend of action-packed cricket recently.
Khosa’s senior cricket teams continue to reach new heights and boundaries.
Recent performances have shown that their teams are showing great dominance in the Black Widow T20 and Lions Club Leagues with each member of the squad playing a vital role in the success.
Late last month, the team played various matches facing top clubs around Johannesburg. The first match over the weekend saw the Lions Club senior team face Wanderers Cricket Club. What was a bowling masterclass saw Khosa’s Clayton Schutzler bag three wickets conceding 43 runs while teammate Coenraad van Wyk took two wickets for 32 runs in his four overs. Khosa ultimately restricted Wanderers to just 231 runs and the Khosa batsmen backed up their bowlers with a good display with the willow winning the game comfortably in the end by eight wickets.
