Through to the finals

WH de Klerk’s first team cricket boys are through to the finals in the Willie Kluyts Trophy.
On October 26 WH de Klerk School’s first team cricket boys emerged victorious over Kleurhof School winning by 31 runs in the 16th over.

One of the four wickets Reynardt Beukes managed to take in the semi finals of the Willie Kluyts Trophy.

Eugene Engelbrecht and Rochelle Fisher opened the batting for WH de Klerk.

“They did a good job with the opening batting and held out for a good while,” said Stephan van der Linde, one of the coaches.

Quintin Erasmus batted gaining 46 runs to the total tally of 119 all out.

Keurhof’s batsman stands shocked that he has been bowled out by WH de Klerk’s spin bowler, Reynardt Beukes.

WH de Klerk was next up to field and bowl and they did a great job at that. Justin Hoare and Quintin both bowled five overs each and claimed three wickets each at a loss of 30 runs each. Reynardt Beukes, the first team’s spin bowler claimed three wickets in his fourth over.

He bowled a total of 5.1 overs and took four wickets in total.
A catch in deep mid wicket at the hands of Reynardt’s spin bowling gave WH de Klerk the win over Kleurhof School as they were all out for 88 runs in the 16th over.

Quintin Erasmus, the captain of WH de Klerk’s first cricket team, bowls down the pitch.

With their win in the cup the boys will play against Belvedere School this Saturday at Hoërskool Generaal Hertzog, if they win there they will be the champions of inland cricket for Learners of Special Educational Needs (LSEN) schools.

The team coaches, Stephan van der Linde, Christo Potgieter and Neil Woest, wish the boys all the best for their up and coming match, knowing they will go into the match and play like the champions they are.
