It wasn't to be for our Casey South Melbourne 2nd XI, who lost out to Richmond 2nd XI on a day to learn from.
The scorecard reads Casey South Melbourne 2nd XI 10/108 and 6/166, Richmond 2nd XI 10/249. A classy 54 off 80 balls from Aaron Blanch was the highlight. Callum McIlveen bowled superbly for the hosts, a six-wicket haul of six for 14. Joshua Ash backed up with three for 16 for our opponents.
Evan Allaway was the pick of the bowlers, taking four for 42 off 15.5 overs. Matthew Sheridan claimed four for 54 as well. The hosts' best was a half-century from Tim Goodman, who made 75.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again. On to the next one.
