On Saturday, our Essendon 3rd XI lost to Frankston Peninsula 3rd XI with lessons to take away.

With the bat, we made 6/290; Frankston Peninsula 3rd XI made 6/291. A century to Zachary Beniwal, who made 120 off 252 balls with eleven fours and one six. Ravindu Fernando made 41 off 86 balls. Sandula Edirisinghe contributed 40 off 46 balls. Our opponents' best with the ball was Lachlan Hose (three for 86).

Our best with the ball was Aaron Cornish, who took two for 82. The hosts' best was a half-century from Dylan Gray, who made 85.

We'll take the lessons from this one and go again.

Thanks to our opponents for the contest.
