It was a day to regroup for our Perth - 2s, who fell short against Bayswater-Morley - 2s by just two wickets.
Batting first, we posted 7/195 from 50 overs. Taj Ballantyne passed fifty on the way to 54 off 57 balls with seven fours. There were also handy runs from Jacob Snadden (42). Credit to Callum O’Connor, who took three for 20 for Bayswater-Morley - 2s.
The visitors reached the target at 8/196 in 49.1 overs. Our opponents' best was a half-century from Kieran Abrams, who made 88 not out. Connor Dimech helped the visitors with 38. Snadden was the pick of the bowlers, taking three for 34 off ten overs.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with.
We're 11th on the ladder at the moment. The team will be eager to put this one behind them against Rockingham-Mandurah - 2s next Saturday.
