Our Sturt West End One Day Cup came unstuck as they were denied by Port Adelaide in Senior Men action.
First up, we made 9/278 from 50 overs. Thomas Kelly was the star with the bat, compiling a terrific 102 off 76 balls with nine fours and six sixes. There were also handy runs from Dylan James (38). Liam Greber was the main threat for Port Adelaide, taking three for 56.
The visitors knocked off the runs, finishing on 5/280 in 47.4 overs. Hats off to Nathan Fernandes, whose 108 was a polished century for our opponents. The visitors' best was a half-century from Isaac Conway, who made 64. With the ball, Hanno Jacobs did the damage, claiming three for 59 off ten overs. Angus Parker bowled well for two for 57.
Plenty to take out of this one.
The side will be keen to bounce back.
