It just wasn't our day: our Northcote 1st XI came up short against Casey South Melbourne 1st XI on a tough day.
Casey South Melbourne 1st XI's innings ended at 216, ours at 178 and 1/49. Joe Medew-Ewen brought up a fine half-century, finishing with 53 off 95 balls. Jackson Smith also got among the runs with 35 off 102 balls. Mitch Lawson played a handy knock of 32. Credit to Evan Allaway, who claimed a five-wicket haul (five for 26) for our opponents.
Paddy McNamara finished with six for 59, a six-wicket haul to savour. Chris Benedek passed fifty for the hosts, finishing with 68.
Plenty to take out of this one.
On to the next one.
