Our Melville - 3s came unstuck as they were unable to stop Midland-Guildford - 3s in a disappointing result.
Batting first, Midland-Guildford - 3s posted 195 from 44.5 overs. William Shackles made a classy 54 for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century. Griffen Collins led the way with the ball, finishing with three for 18. Drew Marshall bowled cleverly for two for 31.
In reply, the side were all out for 141 in 40.1 overs. Hamish Wardell-Johnson was the pick of our batters with 40 off 42 balls. Adam Zanoli was unbeaten on 29 off 47 balls. Tom Southon was the pick of the hosts' bowlers with three for 21. Tom Alderson chipped in with three for 24 for our opponents.
There are plenty of positives to take out of this one.
Chins up, everyone.
