It wasn't to be for our South Perth - 4s, who went down against Joondalup - 4s at Richardson 2 (West) on Saturday.
Joondalup - 4s' innings closed at 5/227 from 45 overs. Mitchell Marais made a polished 64 for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century. Akhilesh Gupta returned figures of two for 44 off nine overs. Aled Phillips Johns offered good support with two for 45.
In reply, we finished on 141 from 41.4 overs. Stewart Marshall top-scored, making 47. Joel Morris chipped in with 39. The visitors' best with the ball was Harry Ross (four for 20).
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with. That's two losses in a row, but the side will keep working hard.
The boys will be keen to bounce back.
