Our Gordon 2nd came unstuck as they had to give best to Penrith 2nd after a hard-fought contest.
Penrith 2nd batted first and made 5/262 from 50 overs. Chris de Kretser passed fifty for the hosts, finishing with 88.
We gave the chase a real go, reaching 9/254 from 50 overs. Vivaan Gandhi posted a half-century, making 65 off 68 balls with six fours and one six. Jayllen Naganayagam brought up a polished half-century, finishing with 65 off 44 balls. There were also handy runs from Tom Connolly (41).
Credit to our opponents, who played well. A tough stretch, and one the side will be determined to end. Congratulations to the hosts on the win.
