schoolsthatrockThe St Charles College 1st XI have now won 13 consecutive games, including wins against Maritzburg College, Hilton, Michaelhouse, Kearsney, St Stithians, Grey College and Westville. Performing to the best of your ability in a Final is easier said than done.
A Final brings a different dynamic and tests everyone’s mental resolve. The Saints 1st XI faced a Finals test on Wednesday afternoon, 20 February, at the Pietermaritzburg Oval against worthy KZN Coastal champions, Westville Boys High School. In the Dolphins Franchise showpiece game, our Saints 1st XI shone.
In an impressive display of running between the wickets, tight bowling channels and sensational fielding, the Saints looked the part and passed the Finals test with distinction. The scores in brief: St Charles College 156/7. Westville 118/10. St Charles College won by 38 runs.
It was a moment of celebration for everyone involved in the Saints Cricket Programme. Congratulations to the boys and their coaches and we would like to thank all the loyal Saints supporters for coming out in their numbers to support our boys. Echoing
Mr Cole-Edwardes’ words after the game, “we stay humble, we work even harder and we continue to trust in the process.”
The Saints Blue and Gold will now head to Pretoria next month to represent the Dolphins in the Coca-Cola Schools National T20 Competition. Well done the Saints! – Mr Rowan Irons
