League.<\/p>\n<p>The team faced Benoni Northerns Cricket Club and were hoping for another win to round-off the season.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Their hopes turned into reality when the team won the match by 76 runs.<\/p>\n<p>Germiston won the toss and elected to bat first, knocking up 191, with one wicket in hand in their allotted 35 overs.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>The day\u2019s top batsmen were Anton van der Linde, with 41 runs, Kevin Cox, with 27 runs and Donald Cekiso, with 22 runs.<\/p>\n<p>The team then took to the field and were able to bowl out their competition for 115 runs.<\/p>\n<p>Rudi le Roux was commended for yet another brilliant bowling performance taking four wickets for only 22 runs in five overs.<\/p>\n<p>This victory meant that Germiston ended the season on top of the log, and it is hoped that this winning trend will see them promoted to the third league for the next season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to our calculations, without final confirmation from Easterns Cricket Union, it looks like we won the Saturday Fourth League, six league points above the rest,\u201d said David Ungerer, of the Germiston City Cricket Club, proudly.<\/p>\n<p>The club will now look to the new season.<\/p>\n<p>If you
