Now it is the turn of the Grey High cricket team to fly the Gqeberha flag in the Western Cape.
Before them, Pearson and Framesby found it tough going against strong opposition on their outings in the Western Cape.
It is not going to be any easier for the Grey boys when they start their trip tomorrow with a T20 match against Bishops.
That will be followed by matches against Wynberg, Rondebosch and SACS over the next three days.
This past weekend, Framesby suffered losses against Boland Landbou and Somerset College after starting their tour by beating Punt in a T20 match by 10 wickets.
Boland made a solid 304/6 and bowled Framesby out for 224 to win by 80 runs.
Framesby batted first against Somerset but 136 runs were never going to be enough. Somerset reached 142/3 to win by 7 wickets.
Pearson had a good weekend playing at home in Gqeberha against Daniel Pienaar (DP) from Kariega.
In the T20 match, Jonno Holmes (2/25) was Pearson’s best bowler when DP made 103/5. Pearson replied with 105/7 to win by 3 wickets. Sulaymaan Gangat guided Pearson to victory with an unbeaten knock of 39 runs.
The 50 overs match was played on Saturday and Pearson got home by 41 runs, scoring 143 and then restricting DP to 102.
Zac Zietsman, with 28 runs, and bowlers, Jayden Ward (3/13) and the captain, Cayden Wilson, (2/13) were the stars.
The previous weekend Pearson had it rough on their annual Cape Town visit.
In their first match, they were beaten by 9 wickets by Wynberg in a T20 encounter.
Pearson managed only 50 runs and the home side replied with 56 for the loss of only one wicket.
It was good to see that Pearson came back strongly in the second match. They beat Somerset College by 48 runs in a 50 overs clash.
Kade Myburgh played a beautiful knock of 52 runs, and scored from 68 balls. This led Pearson to a respectable total of 175 runs.
Myburgh was also the main man with the ball. He put the Somerset batters under immense pressure and took 3/26 in 6 overs.
Wilson also bowled extremely well. He took 2/11 in 9 tight overs and Somerset were bowled out for 127 runs in the 43rd over.
Wilson produced another fine bowling display against Rondebosch. He took 3/51 in 10 overs.
Rondebosch still managed to post an excellent score of 269/5 in 50 overs. Pearson struggled with the bat and was bowled out for 58 runs.
Gangat put up a good fight. He top-scored for Pearson with 27 runs but Rondebosch won easily by 211 runs.
In other T20 matches, Westering beat Despatch by 5 wickets, DF Malherbe just pipped Nico Malan by 6 runs and Alex Road got the better of Otto du Plessis by 4 wickets.
