Our Casey South Melbourne 3rd XI had plenty to celebrate after they beat Greenvale Kangaroos 3rd XI at Casey Fields No. 5 in Kookaburra Men's Premier.
Batting first, Greenvale Kangaroos 3rd XI posted 9/162 from 45 overs. The best of the visitors' batters was Sesath Anuradha with 41. Matthew Blanch was the pick of the bowlers, taking two for 20 off nine overs.
In reply, the boys reached the target at 4/164 in 30.1 overs. Ahmed Raza's 88 not out off 89 balls was a half-century to remember.
With wickets in hand, the chase was superbly managed.
Getting that first win of the season on the board is a cracking moment for the team. Congratulations to all involved.
