Quad-trick for Plasies
For the fourth consecutive year, the team played in the Limpopo finals against PHS on the 30th of September, and reigned victorious.
BETTER than a hat-trick, a quad-trick is what the 1st Cricket team of High School Merensky achieved over the past four years.
For the fourth consecutive year, the team played in the Limpopo finals against PHS on the 30th of September, and reigned victorious.
With a home field advantage, the Plasies won the toss and sent their opponents in to bat. Merensky restricted the PHS score to 160 runs after 32 overs.
In the 30th over, Merensky made 161 runs, only conceding four wickets.
The game was in the Plasie pockets with six wickets still standing.
Great bowling was seen by Rynard de Lange and Asad Patel, each taking two wickets.
The batters rose to the challenge and Johan
Louw scored a fantastic 57 runs, while Rynard de Lange achieved 36 and Rassie Pretorius 35.
All the Plasies are extremely proud of their cricketers, and wish them only the best for the next round. Because of this great achievement, Merensky’s first cricket team will play in the Noordvaal quarter final against the winners of Noordwes.
Local cricket enthusiasts are invited to attend this game at the Merensky Oval on October 25.
