It wasn't to be for our South Perth - 2s, who went down to Willetton - 2s by two wickets on Saturday.

With the bat first up, we compiled 177 from 50 overs. Andrew Flint's 43 off 74 balls was the highlight with the bat. There were also handy runs from Jacob Sands (29). Kiefer Lake did the damage for Willetton - 2s with three for 36.

Our opponents knocked off the runs, finishing on 8/181 in 48.1 overs. Cole Seggery posted 62 for the hosts, a polished fifty. The wickets were shared around, with Charlie Gough taking two for 20. Mitchell Jackson claimed two for 33 as well.

So close, and plenty of positives to take away.

We'll go again.
