It just wasn't our day: our Sydney 1st had to give best to Northern District 1st at Mark Taylor Oval in NSW Premier Cricket (Men's).
Northern District 1st batted first and put 8/280 on the board from 50 overs. Corey Miller made a good 90 for the hosts, a well-deserved half-century. Our best with the ball was Thomas Mullen, who took two for 38. There were also wickets for Charlie Howard (two for 50).
Needing 281 to win, we finished on 5/256 from 50 overs. William Fort posted a fine hundred, making 123 not out off 161 balls. Nathan Doyle passed fifty on the way to 80 off 79 balls with four fours and two sixes.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again. The results haven't gone our way lately, but the team will keep at it.
Back to the nets, and on to the next one.
