Despite a solid effort, our Western Suburbs (2) Mens 5th Grade came off second best against Valley Mens 5th Grade on a day that didn't go our way.
We batted first and finished with 96 on the board from 31.1 overs. An unbeaten 25 off 79 balls from Bailee Brown was a highlight. Charlie Towers was the main threat for Valley Mens 5th Grade, taking three for 19.
In reply, the hosts passed our total, finishing on 4/99 in 28.2 overs. Ayush Ghuge was not out on 36 for our opponents. Nick O'Neill grabbed two for 18.
There are plenty of positives to take out of this one. It's four defeats on the trot, and the side will be eager to bounce back.
Credit to the hosts, and well played.
