The U15 Momentum Friendship cricket match, held at the Chatsworth Oval, between hosts Chatsworth RPC and visitors Kearsney College, was a wonderful match played in great spirit.
In the T20 match, Kearsney won the toss and opted to bat first. Callum McKeown was the pick of the batsmen and he scored 43 off 49 balls. A large outfield mitigated against boundaries being scored throughout the day, and Kearsney scored 101/6 in its allotted 20 overs.
Chatsworth RPC fell 8 runs short in the chase and the Kearsney bowlers bowled a tight line and length throughout the Chatsworth innings. Dingalethu Gwarube was the pick of the Kearsney bowlers and he picked up 2/14 in his allotted four overs.
