There was some good quality cricket on display last week especially at the Independent Schools festival which gave the KZN teams a chance to measure their skills against teams for some of the other provinces.
Hilton College once again managed to show all and sundry what a class act they have become as they won all their matches with big margins to underline why they have led the Belgotex Sports Top 50 Rankings from virtually the first ball of the season.
In their match against St Benedict’s it was the openers James Ritchie and Robert Mcgaw who put together an unbeaten 150 run partnership to trounce the JHB team by 10 wickets.
Ariq Chetty from Clifton College was also in top form with a 101 runs not out innings which helped to furnish the Durban side a strong win against St Albans College.
KES consolidate their position at number 2 with a win against Pretoria Boys High that was a little bit too close for comfort but saw them finally winning by just 2 wickets in a nail biter of a finish.
Bishops perhaps had their best week of the season as they drew with St Stithians but proceeded to beat St Andrews School and Cornwall Hill fairly convincingly. This as help the Cape side to make up some valuable ground on the table.
