It was just wasn't our weekend for the First XI. Playing local rival Belgrave on Saturday, the boys got the first win of the day, winning the toss and electing to bat.
Our top order failed to fire, with only 17 runs on the scoreboard, between the top four. In stepped Harley McDermott to save the day with a top score of 65 off 99 balls faced, and was well supported by Lance Davison on 34 and Olly D'Sylva on 27. Leaving us with 179 to defend.
Things started well with a great runout from Aaron Tanic, followed by another wicket from Olly D'Sylva, we had the home side at 2/23. However, from there Belgrave's third batting partnership pushed on to take out the game in 35th over.
Sunday's game was a catch up from two weeks ago against Knoxfield. Once again we won the toss and sent in Knoxfield to bat, with our bowlers feeling confident they could do the job.
Harley McDermott was the star with the ball, taking 4/38 off eight overs. Ricky Hill was next best with 2/27 off seven overs and had Knoxfield 8/204 at the end of the 40 overs.
It wasn't a great start with DC and Darren Ray going cheaply early on. There was some resistance by Jordan McDermott (36) and Thomas Marks (35), however, no one could really get anything going as we fell short by 65 runs, all bowled out for 139 in the 35th over.
With that weekend now done and dusted we turn our focus to The Basin this Saturday at home.
The Basin sits just above us on the ladder, and with five rounds to go before finals, we will need to win most games here on in.
