Good news from our Oakleigh 1st XI, who secured a win against Port Melbourne 1st XI.
With the bat first up, we compiled 6/220 from 45 overs. Kamesh Nirmal Lokuge made a great 73 off 82 balls, a well-made fifty. There were also handy runs from Brendan Grace (36). Matt Farthing also got among the runs with 35 off 36 balls. Ed Doble did the damage for Port Melbourne 1st XI with three for 45.
Our opponents were all out for 155 in 38.3 overs in reply. The visitors' best was a half-century from Doble, who made 50. Our best with the ball was Brendan Grace, who took four for 13. Madurawalage Jayasundera added three for 32.
A brilliant result for the team.
Congratulations to the side on a terrific result.
