Our Sutherland 3rd side went down to Manly Warringah 3rd by 67 runs.
Batting first, Manly Warringah 3rd posted 6/271 from 50 overs. Josh Cooper made a classy 87 for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century. Jack Melchiore made a classy 79 for the hosts, a well-deserved half-century. Tom Faulkner bowled nicely to finish with two for 71.
In reply, the team were all out for 204 in 44.4 overs. Hayden Lindsay passed fifty on the way to 51 off 53 balls with seven fours and one six. Liam Hehir contributed 37 off 38 balls. Samuel Hole returned four for 26 for our opponents.
There were some polished individual efforts to build on. A tough stretch, and one the group will be determined to end. Credit to the hosts, and well played.
