In Kookaburra Men's Premier action, our Essendon 1st XI got past Greenvale Kangaroos 1st XI with a performance to be proud of.
Over the course of the match we totalled 8/355, and Greenvale Kangaroos 1st XI 293. Take a bow, Muhammad Arsalan: an excellent 150 off 248 balls with nineteen fours and one six. Jarrod Parsons brought up a fine half-century, finishing with 95 off 193 balls. Five wickets for Armann Singh of our opponents, who returned five for 81.
Jackson Martin bowled well for a five-wicket haul, five for 62 off 23.4 overs. Credit to Oshada Fernando, who made a half-century (76) for the hosts. Fifty for Musa Hussain, who made 65 for our opponents.
Contributions came from right through the line-up. Getting that first win of the season on the board is a great moment for the side.
Congratulations to the team on a brilliant result.
