uThungulu back on winning track

THE RH Construction uThungulu cricket team jumped back onto the winning wagon after smashing Chatsworth United by 132 runs in a Castle Premier League clash played at Lahee Park 1 on Sunday.

The local side collected 5 log points, increasing their tally to 22 points after seven games.

Playing away from home is never easy, but with the team gelling on the day, they proved unstoppable.

uThungulu padded up first with willow in hand and posted 268/7 in 50 overs.

Simon Savides smashed a well-played (75), Eugene Zwart notched up (50) with opener Otto Rode (44) falling six runs short of his half century.

Needing 5.36 runs per over proved too challenging for the home side and they were dismissed for 136 in the 39th over.

All-rounder Trevor Kietzmann 4/34 in 10 and spinner Stephan Joubert 3/39 in 9.5 were the pick of the uThungulu bowling attack.

uThungulu will have a bye this weekend before taking on log leaders Crusaders at Addison Park on Sunday, 23 November.
