The girls from St Patrick’s successfully defended their title. They first defeated Kathu High School in the semi-final before crushing Kimberley Girls’ High School in the grand final match.
Batting first in the final, St Patrick’s posted a solid 95/4 in their 10 overs. Then came the moment that lit up the festival. Opening bowler Bokao Ntuane delivered a sensational first over, claiming three wickets without conceding a single run.
It was a statement victory that confirmed St Patrick’s as the team to beat. The festival also produced some standout individual performances. Brianna Arthur was named Player of the Match in the first semi-final after an unbeaten 69 off 36 balls. Simone Steyn took the honour in the second semi-final with a quickfire 33 not out off 16 balls.
Bokao Ntuane dominated the awards, claiming the Moment of the Festival for her 5/1 against Kalahari High School, Bowler of the Festival with nine wickets overall, and the overall Player of the Festival (MVP). Keziah Adams was named Batter of the Festival after amassing 192 runs across four innings.
The school was overly existed for the entire team because of their talent, determination and teamwork, while also thanking sponsors, coaches, parents and every young woman who took part in the festival. The event not only delivered exciting cricket but also celebrated the continued growth of women’s cricket in the province.
Another title secured, another proud moment for St Patrick’s CBC, and another reminder that the future of women’s cricket in the Northern Cape is in very good hands.
