This past weekend saw Westville Boys’ High School square up against Maritzburg College in a traditional long format match on Bowdens Field. Due to the long weekend beginning from Thursday the 24th of October, the decision was made between the two schools to play a 2-day cricket match starting on Thursday and ending on Friday. The two innings format was completed by the uU4A, U15A, U16A and 1st teams and was a first for many of the boys who took part in the event.
