Our Richmond 1st XI had to settle for a loss as they had to give best to Casey South Melbourne 1st XI in a disappointing result.
Our innings: 10/70 and 9/218. Casey South Melbourne 1st XI's: 130 and 182. James Doherty's 81 off 91 balls was a half-century to remember. Solid support came from Jonathan D’Rozario, who made 39. Credit to Harry Hoekstra, who claimed a six-wicket haul (six for 28) for the hosts. Ashvin Adihetty chipped in with four for 61 for our opponents.
Jacob Hinds starred with the ball, taking three for 18. Sam Mills claimed three for 22 as well. Muhammad Irfan passed fifty for the hosts, finishing with 83.
There were some polished individual efforts to build on. A tough stretch, and one the side will be determined to end.
Back to the nets, and on to the next one.
