It was a day to regroup for our Footscray 3rd XI, who fell to Melbourne 3rd XI at Beaumaris Secondary College - North Oval.
The team batted first and reached 5/214 from 45 overs. Dezi Carter's 59 not out off 88 balls was a half-century to remember. There were also handy runs from Fayzan Abdul Sathaar (45). Rishi Desai bowled well for Melbourne 3rd XI, taking three for 26.
Our opponents knocked off the runs, finishing on 3/215 in 39.5 overs. The hosts' best was a half-century from Yash Goel, who made 76.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again.
The boys will be keen to turn things around after five straight losses. Plenty to work on, and plenty to like.
