Playing at home, our Richmond 3rd XI were too good for Footscray 3rd XI to collect a well-earned victory.
Footscray 3rd XI batted first and reached 7/153 from 45 overs. Bayden Hutchins remained unbeaten on 44 for the visitors. Jackson Reed led the way with the ball, finishing with three for 11. There were also wickets for Ashen Hettinayaka (two for 34).
In reply, the boys reached the target at 5/154 in 31.3 overs. Fifty for Spencer Ries, who finished with 76 off 97 balls. James Sajeba carried on to an unbeaten 25 off 16 balls.
With wickets in hand, the chase was beautifully managed.
Two wins on the trot now for the team. An excellent effort from the boys.
