Kingswood College and St Andrew’s College 1st cricket teams took to the Kingswood’s Gane Field in an inter-schools cricket match on Saturday. St Andrew’s batted well leaving Kingswood to toil hard for wickets.
Highlights of the innings were Ryan Dugmore’s 71 and Richard O’Mahoney’s 55. Each of the St Andrew’s batsman seemed to get in and build good partnerships, which allowed St Andrew’s to set up a good score,
declaring on 289 for 6.
The Kingswood attack bowled well without much support from the conditions. Brenden Shiel took 2 for 30, and Scot van Breda bowled well to claim two for 44. With a total of 290 to chase in 60 odd overs, the Kingswood batsmen felt the pressure.
The first four wickets to fall included two full tosses hit straight to fielders and two run-outs. Steven Hansel
made a quickfire 55, before he hit one straight to deep square leg. Good pressure bowling eventually saw Kingswood bowled out for 140, with 10 overs left in the day.
Ryan Dugmore was the pick of the bowlers (5 for 32), finishing off a great day for the skipper. St Andrew’s won by 149 runs.
