Our Sutherland 1st had to settle for a loss as they were denied by Randwick Petersham 1st on a day that didn't go our way.
Randwick Petersham 1st batted first and put 7/279 on the board from 50 overs. Our opponents' Alexander Lee-Young made a classy 111. Fifty for Param Uppal, who made 80 for the hosts. With the ball, Will Straker did the damage, claiming two for 49 off ten overs. Riley Keen finished with two for 58.
In reply, the side were all out for 222 in 48.4 overs. Max Robinson led the way with a terrific hundred, finishing on 117 off 138 balls. Adam Whatley added a useful 31 off 40 balls. James Ward was the pick of our opponents' bowlers with three for 42. The hosts also got three for 46 from Uppal.
Credit to our opponents, who played well. We will be looking to get back in the winning column soon.
We'll go again.
