Despite some good moments, our Footscray 1st XI were bettered by Richmond 1st XI away from home on Saturday.
Over the course of the match we totalled 328, and Richmond 1st XI 3/338. Mitchell Jamieson passed fifty on the way to 83 off 127 balls with eleven fours. Travis Dean made a cracking 61 not out off 125 balls, a well-made fifty. There were also handy runs from Dylan Kight (45). The hosts' best with the ball was Sam Mills (three for 37). Dhruval Parikh took three for 73 for our opponents.
Bailey Toseland bowled superbly to finish with two for 94. Mitch Perry made a classy 200 not out for the hosts, a century worth applauding.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again.
Chins up, everyone.
