In NSW Premier Cricket (Men's) action, our Gordon 3rd were denied by Sutherland 3rd.
Sutherland 3rd set the target, making 7/287 from 50 overs. Hats off to Matthew Fitzgerald, whose 145 was a polished century for the hosts. With the ball, Tom Stacy did the damage, claiming three for 32 off ten overs.
Our chase ended at 128 from 28 overs. Apurv Sharma made a great 54 off 54 balls, a well-made fifty. Samuel Jaques took a six-wicket haul for our opponents, finishing with six for 17.
A tough day at the office, but one to learn from. It's two defeats on the trot, and the group will be eager to bounce back.
Congratulations to the hosts on the win.
