Our Gordon 1st went down to UNSW 1st despite Joe Pocklington's 77.
Batting first, UNSW 1st posted 9/261 from 50 overs. The visitors' best was a half-century from Annay Chauhan, who made 70. Nihal Desai made a classy 63 for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century. The wickets were shared around, with Matthew Wright taking three for 50. There were also wickets for Connor Cook (two for 54).
In reply, we finished on 215 from 46 overs. Joe Pocklington posted a half-century, making 77 off 125 balls with eight fours. Cook weighed in with 37 off 32 balls. Blayde Burke was the pick of the visitors' bowlers with three for 43.
There were some fine individual efforts to build on. It's been a tough run, and we'll be working hard to turn it around. Plenty to work on, and plenty to like.
