    St Andrew’s College won one and lost one game during day one of the Coca-Cola Schools T20 Challenge, that kicked off at the University of Stellenbosch on Friday 20 February.

    St Andrew’s College won one and lost one game during day one of the Coca-Cola Schools T20 Challenge, that kicked off at the University of Stellenbosch on Friday 20 February.

    Volkskool Potchefstroom, the surprise Lions representative, took on St Andrews College from Grahamstown on the main field with a lot of spectators watching the game. Volkies were outplayed from the first ball and lost wickets at regular intervals. They did not even manage to bat for their full 20 overs eventually being bowled out for 84 in 18.5 overs, Thomas Lane was St Andrews best bowler taking 3/11. St Andrews were never tested when they chased down the total and easily knocked off the runs in 15.4 overs.

    Coming into the afternoon games it looked like Paarl Boys High, St Andrews and Grey College were the teams to beat. 

    St Andrews wanted to join Grey College as the only unbeaten teams on day one and got off to a good start against Menlopark. Menlopark batted first and were skittled for 109 runs in 15.3 overs with all of the St Andrews bowlers taking wickets. St Andrews must have thought that they had the game in the bag but Menlopark were not going to give up and they came all out at St Andrews. St Andrews had no response to Menlopark’s bowlers and before long they were 54 all out. Dalen Mmako took 3 wickets for 7 runs, Thinus Viljoen took 3 wickets for 16 and up front Willem Britz took 2 wickets for 5 runs in 4 overs.
