Bridge House travelled to Rhenish to play a highly anticipated cricket match. Having won the toss, Bridge House chose to bat first and posted 96/9 after 20 overs. It was a perfect comeback from the middle order to boast a competitive score. Benjamin Volschenk top-scored with 13.
Rhenish came in confident, but they lost wickets at crucial times due to some tight bowling. Rhenish needed four runs off the last 12 balls and got it with seven balls remaining. Chase Cornish took one wicket for nine runs in his three overs. Jack du Plessis took one wicket for ten runs off two overs.
Rhenish won by six wickets. It was a brilliant match to be a part of. The team’s spirits remained high throughout, with batters being applauded for good shots and bowlers stepping up to the challenge to try to restrict Rhenish.
