GRAEME COLLEGE

U11A with a great win over Grey

Graeme College met Pearson for the first time in a full fixture on Saturday. Pearson cleaned up in the u14A, u15A and 2nd XI fixtures and will be thrilled with those performances. The 1st XI game was far tighter, with Graeme controlling most of the day.

Graeme won the toss and elected to bat, but Pearson bowled tightly and put Graeme under early pressure. Garwin Dampies batted positively scoring a superb 74 off 71 balls; but a lack of partnerships meant that Graeme never got away from Pearson. Both teams were probably satisfied with Graeme’s 197 all out.

Like Graeme, the Pearson batsmen struggled to build significant partnerships and a see-saw battle ensued. At 120 for 4, Pearson looked to be in control. Aaron Richardson bowled a superb spell though, which all but sank Pearson. Richardson ended with 5 for 41, and Pearson were struggling at 154 for 9. A superb 10th wicket partnership virtually got Pearson home, but Garwin Dampies snuck the final wicket with Pearson on the same score, ending a 43 run 10th wicket partnership and ending the match as a tie. It was probably a game neither team deserved to lose.

Graeme Juniors had a great outing against Grey, despite the U13A side struggling. There were three good wins to celebrate. Alizwa Jack was without doubt the man of the match in the U13B game, with his 34 and 4 for 15. Rhys Wiblin joins Richardson with a 5-for on the day, ending with exceptional figures of 6 for 14 in the u11A match.

ST ANDREW’S

GOLF

St Andrew’s College golfers competed against DF Malherbe from Port Elizabeth, for the first time in our history at the Humewood Golf Course, last week Friday (18 January).

Three pairs, playing better-ball with a scrambled drive because of the gale force wind, set off with much enthusiasm on our first fixture of the year. Scoring was tough, but the St Andrew’s golfers successfully managed the elements far better than their opponents and comfortably beat them 3 – 0. The best St Andrew’s player on the day was Ethan Beedzke, who managed 4 birdies, while Kyle Letherby shot 2 and Matt Pope and Michell Lowe 1 each.

The boys accredited themselves well on the course, and good relations were built for the future.

WATER POLO

The St Andrew’s College U14A, U15A and 1st water polo teams travelled to Grey High School in Port Elizabeth this past weekend to participate in the Grey High School Water Polo Festival. It was a great way to start this season with each team playing four games over the weekend. It was also a “baptism of fire” for the coaches, players and refs as all tried to get used to the new rules.

What was promising is there were over 35 Grade 8 boys who attended the camp, which is promising for the future of St Andrew’s Water Polo. Among those boys who have joined the club this year, there are several Provincial Players from Eastern Province, Western Province and Gauteng.

This week the St Andrew’s 1st water polo team travel to Paul Roos in Cape Town and the rest of the Club will be playing fixtures at Woodridge.
