CRICKET:
St Andrew’s College sports news from the weekend:
St Andrew’s College 1st XI batted first against Graeme College on Somerset field on Saturday, 12 October. After a bright start by William Beamish and Rhys Wiblin, a flurry of wickets saw the College XI in trouble at 90/6. Debutant Ethan Bradfield and seasoned campaigner Mitch Coventry then put together what turned out to be a match winning partnership, taking their team to safety. Bradfield ended with a well played 51 and Coventry ended on 46. A few big shots from Roman van Zyl saw College eventually bowled out for 213.
Graeme College started well and put early pressure on the the College bowlers, who could not get the breakthrough needed. It was leg spinner Rhys Wiblin who changed the game with a spell of 5/33 in 10 overs that turned the game on its head. A good 8th wicket partnership kept Graeme in the game but when Roman van Zyl came back and took two quick wickets, the Graeme innings ended on 176, St Andrew’s College winning by 37 runs.
