Cricket Report 2019
Die Wilge started the 2019 Cricket season on a
high, with all the age groups winning against
Oom Paul School from Rustenburg.
U/14:
Oom Paul School won the toss and elected to bat.
The u/14 Team out whipped their counterparts
with Amogelang scoring a whopping 58* not out
from only 32 deliveries. Other contributions
from Koketso Rampai 40(28) made it possible for
Die Wilge to score 168 in the allotted 20 overs.
Scoreboard pressure made it impossible for Oom
Paul to get on track, eventually being bowled
out for 78. Die Wilge win with 90 Runs.
U/16:
This was a bowler’s day, with both teams
struggling to score decent runs. Die Wilge won
the toss and elected to bat first. Die Wilge
only managed a mere 46 runs in their allotted 20
overs, but as we all know, Cricket is a very
unpredictable game… Oom Paul tried an aggressive
approach, but it turned out to be very costly as
Bareng took 4 wickets in one over. Oom Paul
bowled out for 39 runs, and Die Wilge winning
with 7 runs.
First Team:
Oom Paul won the toss and elected to bat first
on a windy Saturday morning. The openers did a
good job, but then came the collapse due to some
individual brilliance from Marshall Bezuidenhout.
Marshall got rid of the top order by means of a
“Hattrick” in his second over, and two more
wickets on his second over. His bowling figures,
4 overs 5/8. Oom Paul only managed to score 63
runs before being bowled out. Die Wilge ended up
reaching the total in only 5 overs, with Antonio
Rodie, the opening batsmen scoring 36* not out
from only 16 deliveries. Die Wilge winning the
match with 8 wickets.

SA LSEN CRICKET WEEK 2017 – East London
It brings me great honour to supply you with
feedback of the Cricket Week that took place
during the past school holiday.
Die Wilge had 5 players and 2 educators in the
North West Dragons team for 2017:
Ramolatudi Lubby, Zolile Nyatela, Kurtley Jones,
Bathabile Masigo and Tshepo Moswetsi were
selected for the team. Mr. LP Geyer was the
Chairperson and coach and Mr. RL Prinsloo was
the Secretary.
We encountered different seasons in one day in
East London, with heavy downfalls and rain over
the week. This meant that we only played T20
cricket. This format was not at all our
strength, as we taught the boys throughout the
season not to play aggressive cricket. The
results would have been even better if we could
have played 50 over cricket, but that was
circumstances out of our hands.
In summary, North West won 3 out of the 4 games
played during the week. We convincingly won
against SWD, Mpumalanga Titans and the Free
State, but unfortunately lost against the
Easterns. These good results made North West the
Runners-Up for the Golden League.
North West Dragons vs SWD Dragons won with 5
wickets;
North West Dragons vs Easterns Dragons lost with
46 runs;
North West Dragons vs Mpumalanga Dragons won
with 8 wickets;
North West Dragons vs Free State Dragons won
with 43 runs.
The players that won the Man of the Match
rewards in the 3 games was:
- Bathabile Masigo (Die Wilge) against SWD, and
- Zolile Nyatela(Die Wilge) against Mpumalanga
Titans and the Free State.
The award for the Best bowler of the Week went
to Bathabile Masigo, with bowling figures of
15.2 overs, 10 wickets and conceding only 61
runs.
One of our players received 3 years’
participation award:
- Ramolatudi Lubby
Die Wilge made new history in 2017, with 2
players being chosen to be part of the SA LSEN
u/19 TEAM.
- Zolile Nyatela – 2nd year in the SA Team)
- Bathabile Masigo – This is a remarkable
achievement as this boy is only 13 year old.
Ramolatudi Lubby will be on standby if anyone
from the 13 players of the SA LSEN TEAM u/19 are
unable to attend the u/17 Rural Cricket Week in
White River in December.
This in summary means that Die Wilge has 3 out
of the possible 14 SA LSEN players in the
National Team.
This is a remarkable achievement and we apprize
the selectors in believing and recognising the
talent that was brought forward by the North
West Cricket LSEN and Die Wilge High School.
In conclusion, we would like to thank every
player and educator for their dedication and
willingness to participate. Thank you for making
2017 yet another memorable year for Die Wilge
Cricket. We would also like to thank the
principle, Mr. AB Rudd, the administrative staff
and the Hostel staff for your assistance and
support. We couldn’t have done it without you.

SA Team

5 van ons spelers is verkies tot die
Noordwesspan en 1 speler het hoogste lof ontvang
deur verkies te word tot die SA LSEN Krieketspan.
