Laerskool Losberg's Under-9 Cricketers Win the Gauteng West Final by 113 Runs
Fochville has a cricket result worth repeating. Laerskool Losberg announced on Facebook that its under-9 side beat Westgold by 113 runs in the Gauteng West final, a margin that leaves little room for argument. The school posted the result in Afrikaans and English, naming three players as men of the match.
A final settled by a wide margin
The school gave the result as a 113-run win over Westgold in the Gauteng West final. At under-9 level, where matches are short and totals modest, a margin of that size points to a dominant performance with both bat and ball.
Three men of the match
Rather than name a single player, Losberg listed three. Jandre scored 47 runs, while Alex took five wickets and Sion four.
