For the second consecutive year, Durban High School (DHS) showcased their dominance in the Clifton T20 Tournament, claiming the prestigious Centenary Cup with an undefeated record. Facing a strong Westville Boys’ High team in the final, DHS posted 161/9, with standout performances from Ismaeel Omar (38) and Dhilan Naraidu (29). A fiery bowling attack led by captain Bayanda Majola, who struck early to dismiss key batsmen, ensured DHS defended their total, sealing a 15-run victory.
The tournament featured thrilling individual displays, including Josh van Biljon’s 103* for DHS and Riley Miller’s explosive 123* for Waterkloof. Westville’s Seth Simpson also impressed, but his team fell short in the final. Clifton College Executive Headmaster Clyde Mac Donald praised the tournament’s success as a celebration of cricket and community, with DHS coach Fabian Lazarus earning back-to-back "Coach of the Tournament" honors. The Clifton T20, in just its second year, has already established itself as a premier school cricket competition.
