Our Gold Coast Mens 3rd Grade had to settle for a loss as they went under to Northern Suburbs Mens 3rd Grade on a frustrating day.
With the bat, we made 10/156 and 6/140; Northern Suburbs Mens 3rd Grade made 10/328. Luke Ward made an excellent 51 off 43 balls, a well-made fifty. Solid support came from Ryan Reid, who made 36. There were also handy runs from Lachlan Diven (33). Kazuma Stafford claimed three for 15 for our opponents.
With the ball, Jackson Robson did the damage, claiming two for 19 off five overs. Frank Piper made a fine 80 for the hosts, a well-deserved half-century. Leo Cartwright made a classy 76 for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century.
Credit to the hosts, who played well.
The boys will be keen to bounce back.
