It was a satisfying day for our Richmond 1st XI, who got past Footscray 1st XI at Toorak Park on Monday.
Batting first, Footscray 1st XI posted 8/124 from 20 overs. Jack Prestwidge was the main threat for the visitors, making 30. Joshua Sawrey was the pick of our bowlers with three for 16. There were also wickets for Sam Mills (two for 27).
In reply, the side reached the target at 2/125 in 16.2 overs. James Doherty made an excellent 57 not out off 49 balls, a well-made fifty. Jacob Hinds carried on to an unbeaten 29 off 22 balls.
Revenge, of sorts: our opponents had won our previous meeting this season. That's back-to-back wins for the boys.
Congratulations to the side on a superb result.
