On Saturday at Albert Ground, our Footscray 1st XI recorded a win over Melbourne 1st XI by 47 runs.
Batting first, we posted 6/309 from 50 overs. Travis Dean brought up a brilliant century, finishing with 107 not out off 90 balls. Fifty for Dylan Kight, who finished with 79 off 83 balls. Mitchell Jamieson played a handy knock of 38.
Melbourne 1st XI were all out for 262 in 46.5 overs in reply. Fifty for Blake Thomson, who made 84 for the hosts. Farzan Chowna made a good 50 for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century. Jay Vine was the pick of our bowlers with three for 37. Max Birthisel bowled cleverly for three for 61.
Bowling the hosts out proved decisive.
A superb effort from the boys.
