Our Essendon 3rd XI were unable to get the better of Richmond 3rd XI in a tight finish.
After batting first, we finished on 9/181 from 45 overs. Leading the way was Heath doherty with 26 off 38 balls. Sean Phillips-Williams played a handy knock of 24. Ethan Kolaritsch was the best of Richmond 3rd XI's bowlers, finishing with four for 28.
Our opponents knocked off the runs, finishing on 9/182 in 44 overs. Navnith Satyan batted well for the hosts, making 46 off 71 balls. Our best with the ball was Aaron Cornish, who took two for 25. Paramvir Singh finished with two for 35.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with.
The boys will be keen to bounce back.
