Despite a solid effort, our Gordon 2 lost to Blacktown T20 on Saturday in Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup & Kingsgrove Sports Poidevin-Gray Shield.
With the bat first up, we compiled 7/120 from 20 overs. A classy 55 not out off 55 balls from Nicholas Stapleton was the highlight. Rory McLean added a useful 24 off 18 balls. Puru Gaur was the main threat for Blacktown T20, taking three for 27.
In reply, our opponents passed our total, finishing on 5/121 in 18.5 overs. Atharv Deshpande made 37 for the hosts. Stapleton was the pick of the bowlers, taking two for 16 off 3.5 overs.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with. The results haven't gone our way lately, but the side will keep at it. We'll go again.
