On Saturday, our Western Suburbs 1st came off second best against St George 1st with lessons to take away.
St George 1st made 8/313, and we made 311. Take a bow, Nicholas Cutler: a cracking 106 not out off 161 balls with ten fours and one six. Oliver Hing posted a half-century, making 79 off 189 balls with three fours and one six. Ethan Jamieson chipped in with 32. Credit to Connor O'Riordan, who took four for 84 for the visitors. Luke Bartier finished with three for 34 for our opponents.
The wickets were shared around, with Tom Brooks taking three for 113. Jack Bermingham backed up well, taking two for 32. The visitors' Bartier made a fine 107. Our opponents' best was a half-century from Adam Singleton, who made 69.
There were some good individual efforts to build on. That's three losses in a row, but the side will keep working hard.
Chins up, everyone.
