Through hard work, dedication and discipline success is inevitable. The U16A team had a successful season this year and that was made possible because of each player who represented the team. However, it is important to note that this season began with many closely contested losses. In Term 1, most of the players were newly promoted to the team, therefore adapting to the intensity of the division as well as gettng to know one another was an uncomfortable challenge.

They competed at the Cape Town Metro Top Schools Tournament, which was a battle of the best in the Cape District. Although the team lost their matches, there were some phenomenal moments to hold onto. Through all adversity, the team showed great character and eagerness to continue improving. The pressure was high and the team understood that they were obligated to establish and maintain high standards in matches.

In Term 4, the team revealed their potential, one training session at a time. The losses that they experienced were the reason for the change in atitude. They adopted a stronger mentality. They showcased growth and development in skills at the 2023 WBHS Basketball Festival, winning all their matches to lift the trophy in the final. J Barkhuizen won ‘Most Valuable Player’ of the tournament. In addition, the team obtained a dominant victory of 49-18 against a competitive opposition in the last league match of a promising season.

The U14A basketball team embarked on a challenging journey this season, navigating through a series of tough losses that tested their spirit and commitment to the sport. Despite facing formidable opponents, the team remained resilient and determined, showcasing their passion for the game. Each match became a learning experience - an opportunity for growth and improvement.

Throughout the season, the U14A players demonstrated an unwavering companionship that extended beyond the court. They became more than a team, supporting each other both in victories and defeats. The highlight of the season came at their final match of the season in the form of a spectacular win.

The team had worked the entire season to reach this point and as the final buzzer sounded, it was more than a win – it was a testament to the team’s enduring spirit, their ability to overcome challenges and a tangible reminder of the power of brotherhood that Rondebosch seeks to instill, ending the season with a very convincing 38-17 victory against Settlers, and Kaka scoring a beautiful last-second bucket from the centre circle.

The U14A basketball team’s journey is a story of commitment, growth and solidarity and shows a promising future for the sport of basketball and the boys of Rondebosch.

The 2023 season for the 2nd XI was nothing short of exceptional. A good balance between individual performances with bat and ball provided the platform for a very successful first half of the season. An unbeaten 107 by Nic Sendin and Amaan Abrahams’ bowling figures of 7/28, against St Stithians, as well as an innings of 98 not out by James Kirsten, against Paul Roos, were the standout individual contributions of the first term.

A rare opportunity for a 2nd XI tour to the Pearson Stayers Festival allowed our players to gain invaluable experience of different playing conditions, as well as to foster camaraderie within the group. In the fourth term, Joshua Neill smashed 122 off 80 balls against Belville High and Adeeb Levy contributed a sublime 118 against rivals SACS, while Nathan Ball cemented his status of season’s top run scorer with 95 in the final game against Bishops.

Ball amassed a remarkable 672 runs this season, while Ethan Macgregor and Joshua Neill contributed significantly with 584 and 496 runs, respectively. Notably, as a team we scored a total in excess of 200 runs on 11 occasions. On the bowling front, James Kirsten led the charge with 43 wickets, followed closely by Amaan Abrahams (39 wickets) and Nathan Ball (36 wickets).

Thank you to all the parents who contributed time, snacks and support over the course of the season. To Mr Junior Dube, thank you for your time, efforts and advice in coaching. It has been wonderful to have such a gentleman to rely on as a co-coach and I value the time we have spent together this year.

To the players, thank you for a wonderful season. It has been a privilege to share the field with you and I look forward to working with some of you again in 2024, whilst also keeping an eye on those going on to higher honours in the 1st XI.

This year's 3rd team cricket season was a thrilling roller coaster during which we faced numerous challenges, learned valuable lessons and celebrated several remarkable victories along the way. The team showcased exceptional skills, teamwork, and determination, thanks to Chris Du Preez’s brilliant captaincy. He guided the team with insightful strategies and selfless decision making.

One aspect that made this season truly exceptional was the emergence of several surprise talents within the team. These players proved their mettle and showcased tremendous potential in their respective roles.

Their contributions were invaluable and played a crucial role in the team's overall success. The highlight of the season undoubtedly belonged to the outstanding performance against the Paarl schools. The team showcased a powerful display of cricketing prowess, delivering a resounding thrashing to their opponents.

These remarkable victories further solidified their growing reputation as a winning team with an impressive U19C Cricket victory over Wynberg, where the team displayed their skills and emerged victorious by 7 wickets.

The momentum continued as they faced SACS, securing another convincing win by 7 wickets. The team's determination remained unwavering, resulting in a hardfought victory against Bishops by 6 wickets.

We wish these incredible players good luck and look forward to witnessing their future achievements at the school and beyond.

2023 will go down in the history books as yet another successful year of enjoyable, exciting and exploding cricket from the ‘Kings.’

Captained by Jack Pauw, the Kings showcased the true determination and grit, as well as depth, associated with Bosch Cricket. I would like to take the time to acknowledge Jack Pauw, as he became the most capped Kings player in the history of the Kings, having played for 4 consecutive years. His passion for the game was a reminder of the legacy and fun that is associated with this team.

There were impressive stand-out performances during the course of the year. Thomas Van Wyk’s 95 off 48 balls vs Wynberg, Jack Pauw’s immense knocks of 65-plus against Parel Vallei, Wynberg and SACS, Imaad Martin’s half centuries against SACS both at home and away, Jean Pretorius’ 51 against Paul Roos, Justin Wyngaard’s half century against Parel Vallei, Nic Swier’s last knock of 40 off 22 balls against Bishops. Five-wicket hauls from Aidan Snyman and Jean Pretorius proved that firepower was never in short supply.

It was a fantastic year and one that will live long in our memories. This group of players truly defined what it means to play this game with sheer passion and love and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of it.

The U19E team had a very successful season this year, winning the majority of their games. Characterised by vibeand enjoyment, the team was well led by Lithitha Singa and David Rennie. One or two speedbumps along the way saw a strong end to both Term 1 and Term 4, with convincing wins against the neighbouring boys’ schools. There were plenty of individual stand-out performances, from multiple 50s from various batsman, to 5-wicket hauls and hat-tricks. With the nature of the U19E team chopping and changing constantly, new players were made to feel welcome and never wanted to leave the side.

The 2023 season started with good wins during the Peninsula Festival against Pretoria Boys’ High (T Webber 3/5 and J Engelbrecht 3/7), Hilton College (T Heyns 51, N Musikanth 49 and T Short 3/11) and St Charles (S Jones 3/14). The T20 match against St David’s was tied (A Saiet 2/5). A victory against Curro Durbanville (Saiet 5/17 and Musikanth 42 no) was followed by a good win against Newlands Cricket School (Musikanth 125).

St. Stithians was outplayed (Short 60 and B Hartman 41). We then beat Bellville (T Webber 3/9 and Musikanth 3/7) before we took four defeats in a row. M Powel (4/44) and Heyns (86) brought some respectability against Affies. The team bounced back with a 9 wicket win against Paul Roos (Short 4/35 and Musikanth 46 no) and an 8 wicket win against Stellenberg (Musikanth 70 no).

At the Grey High Festival we beat Kearsney by 6 wickets (Heyns 81 no, Short 3/14, J Wyngaard 2/8) and Selborne by 88 runs (F Patel 2/4 and M Powell 2/8). We lost to Jeppe by two runs, despite D Keswell scoring 73. Parel Vallei was beaten before a good 4 wicket win against Paarl Gymnasium (Musikanth 50 n/o, Joubert 4/43 and Saiet 3/41). Matthew Powell (4/0 in one over) was the star against Boland Landbou, despite 55 by Short.

Solid victories against Whitgift (UK) (Heyns 75, Patel 40 and Saiet 5/36) and SACS (after a first term defeat) by 8 wickets (Musikanth 62 no), set the team up for the last match against Bishops. The defeat was made somewhat more bearable because of Nic Joubert’s best figures ever – 6/23 in 9 overs.

Thank you to Wesley for his diligence, commitment, knowledge and friendship with the boys whilst walking the extra mile. Lastly, thank you to Heidi and the group of parents for your support and for still serving the best teas and eats in the country.

As the summer season dawned on us, the U15B team was excited to play some cricket and face new challenges ahead. The U15B cricket was a side full of happiness, friendship and great vibes. They worked hard at every practice session and were always keen to learn new things.

The year was a bit of a rollercoaster ride, with the team not starting the season well. We lost games against Wynberg, Parel Vallei, Paul Roos and Bishops, and won two games against SACS and Compton & Chandlers.

The team developed and grew impressively from Term 1 to Term 4. They started to believe in themselves and the team. One thing that was amazing to see was the friendships that started to form in the team, this resulted in us becoming a great team and winning 4/5 games in Term 4. We won games against Paarl Gymnasium by 157 runs, Fairmont High by 9 wickets, against SACS by 5 wickets, and won the last game against Bishops by 73 runs.

Notable performances this year were: L Allie 3/11 against Wynberg, K Dalvi 4/25 against Parel Vallei, O Main 3/10 against SACS, O Hammond 44 runs against Paarl Gym, M Gadien 5/18 against Paarl Gym, S Omelo 3/10 against Paarl Gym and 6/20 against Bishops, E van Niekerk 3/17 against Wynberg, Tom Dicey 131 runs against Wynberg and 5/10 against Fairmont High.

Oli Main, as team captain, showed great leadership. He led the boys from the front and took charge on many occasions. Thank you to the team for being fun to work with and for showing great manners and respect both on and off the field. Lastly, thank you to the parents for the support they gave the team, always making sure that we had drinks and lunch every Saturday.

The U15C cricket team had a challenging yet commendable season, displaying resilience and determinaon that truly defined their spirit. Despite facing tough competition in the 12 matches played, the team emerged victorious in 5, showcasing their unwavering commitment to the game. Leading from the front, Captain Vaughan Gay's exemplary leadership skills not only inspired his teammates, but also instilled a sense of unity and camaraderie within the team.

Notably, Nicholas van der Heever's remarkable progress throughout the season did not go unnoticed, as his dedication and hard work shone brightly, making him the most improved player. His journey symbolises the team's collective efforts and their willingness constantly to strive for betterment.

The team's undying spirit and perseverance provide a strong foundation for their future endeavours. With their unwavering dedication and the valuable lessons learned from this season, the team is poised to make significant strides in the upcoming seasons. Anticipation fills the air, as we eagerly await the next chapter of their cricket journey, confident that their growth and improvement will be nothing short of remarkable.

It is always an interesting cricket year at U14 level as different primary schools and different styles have to be consolidated into the Bosch brand of cricket. It is definitely a step up from U13 level. Rondebosch once again proved that they can compete with the top sides in the country.

The 2023 group worked hard to find their niche in the cricketing world. The side’s strength was in the bowling, with the “spin twins” of Jonny Neill and Arin Spiller proving to be an exciting future combination by taking the bulk of the wickets. The depth and variety of the bowling was borne out by the fact that, at times, Nur Limbada and Liam Beukes could be added to the spin mix, depending on the conditions. Schalk Fourie, as an opening bowler, produced some exceptional spells, including a hat-trick - all bowled against Bishops. He was ably supported by Naveed Parker, Daniel Roos, Zion van Rensburg and, in the latter part of the season, by Eli Aufrichtig. Mathew Brooks could also be relied upon to create pressure with his accurate medium seamers.

The excellent bowling was not always backed up by consistent battng, but by the end of the season the side was finding its rhythm and Schalk Fourie, Thomas Hoffmann and Josh Kirby scored half centuries, backed up by Mathew Brooks’ battng.

The season highlights were beating all the traditional rival schools at least once, and then being undefeated against all the Boland schools and an emphatic win against Grey College.

The tour to Durban and Hilton was another highlight, with a convincing win against Clifton and then a nailbiting fight back to tie with Michael House.

The side has a lot of potential and thanks must go to Schalk Fourie for leading by example as captain of the side, as well as to Thomas Hoffmann for his competitive nature and his support as vice-captain. Thanks to Mr and Mrs Fourie for co-ordinating all the fantastic catering and to the parents for their support.

This year the U14B cricket team had a great season, with many very closely fought matches. The team developed and grew exponentially from Term 1 to Term 4 and, most importantly, the boys had fun and made great friendships throughout the season. It was fantastic to see how the team always encouraged one another, in the good times and the bad. I was also very impressed with how the team conducted themselves on and off the field, showing great respect to opposition, visitors and umpires.

Captain, Jack Bradshaw, led from the front with both bat and ball. He contributed massively to the team and showed fantastic leadership ability. Renzo de Waal was an invaluable asset as an all-rounder. He ended the season as top run-scorer, while also taking many wickets and restricting the run-rate while bowling. He was awarded the Player of the Season award. Liam Lewis proved to be vital within the battng department, scoring runs regularly at the top of the order. Faraaz Jaffar was the highest wicket-taker of the season, while Joseph Beggs played an integral role with bat in hand. Faraaz and Joseph shared the Most Improved Player of the Year award. The overall highlight of the season was securing the Grand Slam against Bishops in a day/night match in the final game of the season.

This group was truly a pleasure to coach. Not only were they a team filled with talented cricketers; more importantly, they are phenomenal young men. There is no doubt that these boys have massive potential and I know that they have bright cricketing futures ahead of them. I wish the boys all the very best in the years to come at Bosch.

The U14 C cricket season at Rondebosch Boys’ High School was filled with thrilling performances and remarkable victories. The team displayed great skill and determination throughout the season.

In a closely contested match against Wynberg, Rondebosch chased down 106 runs in 19 overs, with Dylan Jabbit's 30 leading the charge, resulting in a welldeserved win by 6 wickets. The young Bosch team faced a tough challenge against Paarl Gim, with Louis Loftus contributing a valuable 24 runs. Rondebosch managed to defend their total of 116, thanks to Ethan Scott's fantastic bowling performance, winning by 6 runs.

The match against Bishops showcased the team's battng prowess as they posted a commanding total of 146 runs. Nathan Schalit and Dylan Jabbit played pivotal roles and their bowlers dominated Bishops, sealing a resounding victory by 76 runs. In the game against SACS, Rondebosch faced a target of 127 runs and, led by Owen de Wet's unbeaten 30*, they achieved the target with 2 balls to spare, securing a 4-wicket win. The U14C side faced Bishops once more, and Waldo Englebrecht's brilliant hat-trick and a great battng display by Dylan Jabbit resulted in a 5-wicket victory, chasing down Bishops' 93 runs.

Overall, it was an outstanding season for Rondebosch U14C, marked by impressive wins and individual performances.

The U14D cricket team had an unforgettable year, as they contiued to go from strength to strength and were able to pick up great victories along the way. The boys managed to turn the North field into a fortress, taking advantage of the small boundaries and showing exceptional skills in the field.

A noticeable victory included a nail-biting encounter against SACS in difficult conditions, where the boys had to defend a low target. They had to show incredible fight and, through showing their quality in the field, were able to bowl SACS out in the 2nd last over. This massively impacted the team spirit, leading to a derby against Bishops. The derby was played with great passion and they were able to get the win comfortably, winning the game by 6 wickets.

We had close encounters in the second term and unfortunately fell on the wrong side. The boys managed to put those results behind them and finish the season with a noticeable victory away against Bishops.

It was an absolute privilege to be involved in this special group and we wish all the boys the best in the future. We will be monitoring their progress closely as every boy showed great potential throughout the season.
