There were smiles all round after our Western Suburbs Mens 4th Grade took care of Gold Coast Mens 4th Grade at Bill Pippen Oval, winning by 21 runs.
We set Gold Coast Mens 4th Grade a target of 238, finishing on 3/237 from 40 overs. Murphy Veraa brought up a brilliant century, finishing with 110 not out off 119 balls. Charlie McGrath brought up a polished half-century, finishing with 83 off 89 balls.
Chasing 238, our opponents reached 216 from 40 overs. Credit to Tirth Patel, who made 49 for the hosts. Luis De Kretser was the pick of the bowlers, taking three for 23 off five overs. There were also wickets for Nikhil Sharma (three for 47).
It was an excellent all-round effort, with contributions from right through the line-up. That makes it two wins in a row. That makes up for our loss to our opponents earlier in the season.
Thanks to the hosts for the contest.
