Ramblers on a winning streak

Ramblers (103/8) held their nerves to record an impressive 8-wicket victory in a low-scoring match against Mossel Bay (102 all out) at the Van Riebeeck Stadium last weekend.

Pioneers (195/9) were victorious in their Bitou derby against Knysna Cavaliers (103 all out) and thanks to Claude Terblanche (6/18) won by 79 runs to also secure a bonus point victory.

Jean du Plessis (84) and Travis Ackerman (66) were the heroes for NMU George (249/7) when they defeated the defending champions, Union Stars, (225 all out) by 24 runs. LeRoi Bredenkamp contributed 53 with the bat for

Stars.

On Sunday Western Hope (128/8) were too strong for Pioneers (127 all out) and recorded a two-wicket bonus point victory.
