Our Northcote 4th XI had to settle for a loss as they fell to Footscray 4th XI.
Footscray 4th XI set the target, making 5/282 from 45 overs. Hats off to Abhishek Beniwal, whose 130 was a fine century for our opponents. Fifty for Priyansh Chokshi, who made 54 for the visitors. Our best with the ball was Akshay Khabarwal, who took two for 44.
Our chase ended at 9/217 from 45 overs. Aarav Laxman made an excellent 59 off 77 balls, a well-made fifty. Solid support came from Yashen Sharma, who made 48. Five wickets for Tanish Taneja of our opponents, who returned five for 44.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again.
The boys will be keen to bounce back.
