It just wasn't our day: our Joondalup - 2s lost their match against South Perth - 2s away from home.
First up, we made 8/210 from 50 overs. Harry O'Brien passed fifty on the way to 51 off 63 balls with four fours and two sixes. Jake Riccardi also got among the runs with 39 off 68 balls. Nicholas Flood was unbeaten on 36 off 32 balls. Nicholas Mitchell was the pick of South Perth - 2s' bowlers with three for 35.
Our opponents knocked off the runs, finishing on 5/211 in 49 overs. Akhil Venugopalan made a quality 68 for the hosts, a well-deserved half-century. With the ball, Flood did the damage, claiming two for 32 off ten overs.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again. It's been a tough run, and we'll be working hard to turn it around.
Credit to our opponents, and well played.
