Westering and Grey High bow to superior mastery

Pearson's cricket team thumped Westering and beat Grey High in T20 matches in a successful cricket week for the Summerstrand High school. On Wednesday, Pearson played Westering in the national T20 semifinals of the Port Elizabeth district.

After winning the toss and electing to field, Pearson High’s bowlers took control of the match, picking up regular wickets.

Keeran Forbes was the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 3/23, and he was well supported by Chris Dekker (2/14) and Kyle Jacobs (2/4) as Westering were dismissed for 82.

The Pearson batsmen did not take long to knock off the Westering target, reaching the total in the 12th over with only one wicket down.
