It wasn't to be for our Eastern Suburbs 3rd, who lost their match against Bankstown 3rd on a day to learn from.
The team batted first and reached 6/263 from 50 overs. Nicholas Taylor made a cracking 63 off 55 balls, a well-made fifty. Matthew Hield brought up a stylish half-century, finishing with 52 off 75 balls. Lucas Robertson chipped in with 43.
Bankstown 3rd reached the target at 4/267 in 48.1 overs. Our opponents' Tomas Cordingley made a good 136 not out.
It's three defeats on the trot, and the group will be eager to bounce back. Chins up, everyone.
