Jeppe High School for Boys first cricket team is all geared up for the Michaelmas Festival.
This was evident with a 103-run win over Westlake, a touring school from Auckland, New Zealand on September 24.
Jeppe batted first and posted a useful 281/6 in their 50 overs.
Top-scorer was Levert Manje on 65, closely followed by Matthew van Dyk, who scored 64.
Westlake battled against the spin of Cian Robertson and Dillan Kirkland, who took 2/40 and 3/14, respectively and were bowled out for 179 with six overs still to face.
