It was a tough day out for our Oakleigh 4th XI, who were denied by Brighton 4th XI.
Brighton 4th XI batted first and reached 6/166 from 40 overs. Fifty for Ned Bolton, who made 65 for our opponents. With the ball, Craig Johnson did the damage, claiming two for 21 off seven overs.
Chasing 167, we reached 7/150 from 40 overs. Matthew Girolami played a stylish hand of 28 off 56 balls. Credit to Bolton, who took three for 19 for the visitors.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again.
The results haven't gone our way lately, but the group will keep at it. Plenty to work on, and plenty to like.
