Saturday didn't go our way, as our Essendon 4th XI came off second best against Footscray 4th XI in a disappointing result.
Our totals were 10/252, against Footscray 4th XI's 7/307. Samin Shafquat was the star with the bat, compiling an excellent 100 off 174 balls with ten fours. Sai Shail Simhadri made an excellent 51 off 132 balls, a well-made fifty. A five-wicket haul to William Pizaro for the hosts (five for 57). Liam Sutton took three for 40 for our opponents.
Hady Hegazy led the way with the ball, finishing with two for 41. Muhammad Abdul Wasay finished with two for 61. Bayden Hutchins posted 96 for the hosts, a fine fifty.
The team will be keen to bounce back.
