Wrapping up Week 4 with Dominate wins 💪🏏🔥
"First Saturday Side" continue to Dominate at Home! 💪🏏
The Quins 6th Side hosted Kwamashu at Quins 1 for an action-packed encounter. After Kwamashu won the toss and chose to bowl, the innings got off to a shaky start with Quins on 12/3.
Then came a masterclass partnership, the Jenkins' brothers' took control, adding a massive 177-run stand for the 4th wicket.
Clinton Jenkins was unstoppable, blasting 129 off just 64 balls, including 12 fours and 10 sixes, while Dylan Jenkins played the perfect supporting role with 40 not out as Quins posted 202/4.
In reply, Kwamashu struggled to keep up with the required rate. Dylan 2 for 15 runs and Craig Laing 2 for 25 led the attack brilliantly to secure a 64-run win.
Man of the Match: Clinton Jenkins, with a blistering 129 runs that lit up our home ground.
