It wasn't to be for our Sutherland 3rd, who were bested by Bankstown 3rd on Saturday in NSW Premier Cricket (Men's).
First up, Bankstown 3rd made 7/297 from 50 overs. Fifty for Cooper McMahon, who made 73 not out for our opponents. Ethan Muller was the pick of the bowlers, taking two for 26 off ten overs. Flinders Zhang-Langley weighed in with two for 53 off ten overs.
Needing 298 to win, we finished on 5/262 from 50 overs. Matthew Fitzgerald made a brilliant 97 off 124 balls, a well-made fifty. Billy Konstas brought up a stylish half-century, finishing with 86 off 128 balls.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with. The results haven't gone our way lately, but the side will keep at it.
Plenty to work on, and plenty to like.
