Despite a solid effort, our Sturt West End Mens 1st Grade - Div One were bettered by Tea Tree Gully on a day that didn't go our way.
Across the match we made 8/126 and 187, with Tea Tree Gully on 123 and 6/216. Brad Davis brought up a good half-century, finishing with 54 off 63 balls. Credit to Hamish Case, who claimed a five-wicket haul (five for 50) for the hosts.
Five wickets for Angus Parker, who returned five for 43 off ten overs. Ben Gibbon finished with four for 28. Our opponents' best was a half-century from Samuel Cuconits, who made 76 not out. Jerrsses Wadia passed fifty for the hosts, finishing with 67.
Plenty to take out of this one. The team will be keen to turn things around after two straight losses.
Chins up, everyone.
