Despite a solid effort, our Sutherland 1st fell short against Parramatta First Grade on home soil.
Parramatta First Grade made 7/237, and we made 106 and 123. Arnav Raina led the way with 42 off 71 balls with five fours. Kobey Freer also got among the runs with 40 off 57 balls. Five wickets for Isaac Earl of the visitors, who returned five for 50.
With the ball, Luke J Ritchie did the damage, claiming three for 40 off twenty overs. Will Straker weighed in with two for 65 off eighteen overs. Dhruv Kant posted 71 not out for our opponents, a classy fifty.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again. On to the next one.
