The Manley Flats Cricket Club 2nds are the new Grahamstown Cricket Board (GCB) Second League Champs for the 2019/2020 Season. Manleys recorded a convincing 6-wicket bonus point win over Kenton at the weekend, ensuring the title with one game to spare.

Chris Van der Meulen (67) and Buster Brotherton (50), were in fine form with the bat for Salem. Ross Pittaway shone with the ball for Manleys with outstanding match-winning figures of 5/24 (8).

Captain David Blenkisop did a good job for Rhodes with a fine 63 runs as wickets tumbled around him, while Leseko Cekiso bowled well with his 3/36 (8) for Rhodes.

Rhodes however, managed to pull a big upset when they comfortably defeated Southwell by a 8-wicket bonus point win. Southwell scored 155 and Rhodes easily achieved the target in 34.1 overs. Neil Dettwer chalked up 4/36 for Rhodes and bowled extremely well. Stephen Pettit (64) and Thandisile (52*) were in devastating form with the bat and took their side to an impressive win over the favourites Southwell.
