Despite a solid effort, our South Perth - 3s went down against Melville - 3s at Richardson 2 (West).
Melville - 3s batted first and made 184 from 43.4 overs. Fifty for Hamish Wardell-Johnson, who made 70 for the visitors. Devon Oelofse made a polished 51 for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century. The wickets were shared around, with Tejas Panicker taking three for 24.
Our chase ended at 125 from 38.3 overs. Leading the way was Oscar Goesch with 37 off 38 balls. There were also handy runs from Harry Cousins (24). Drew Marshall bowled impressively for the visitors, a five-wicket haul of five for 22.
There were some quality individual efforts to build on. Back to the nets, and on to the next one.
