FRIENDLY CRICKET · GROOT DRAK

Groot Drak v WPCC

25 October 2026 · Away — venue to be confirmed

By Nic Slabber

A very convincing win for our Drakies team today against WPCC. We beat them with 9 wickets. We had to bowl first and bowled them out for 134 runs. I surprised myself by taking 3 wickets and a super economical spell by Quintin with his 2 wickets. We made light work of their younger bowling attack and hit the winning runs with several overs to spare. Quintin and Rikus had an excellent partnership. Definitely a man of the match performance by Quintin!👏👏👏
Well done guys!

Groot Drak won by 9 wickets
