There were smiles all round after our Footscray 2nd XI recorded a win over Frankston Peninsula 2nd XI at John Coburn Oval in Kookaburra Men's Premier.
We posted 10/324, while Frankston Peninsula 2nd XI made 9/304. A century to Aayan Nadeem, who made 118 off 128 balls with eighteen fours and one six. Declan O'Brien made a cracking 56 off 99 balls, a well-made fifty. Lachlan Hose bowled well for the hosts, a five-wicket haul of five for 68.
Luke Gilham was the pick of our bowlers with three for 39. Umair Butt added two for 50. Matthew Gapes passed fifty for our opponents, finishing with 56. Cooper Remy posted 56 for the hosts, a fine fifty.
Big runs from our top order made the difference. That's our first win of the season on the board. A terrific effort from the boys.
