It was a disappointing outing for our Hawkesbury 3rd, who were unable to get the better of Parramatta Third Grade in one to put behind us.
Parramatta Third Grade made 8/361, and we made 131 and 1/41. Nouman Rashid's 24 off 24 balls was the highlight with the bat. Jayden Wheeler played a handy knock of 23. Liam Roche was the best of our opponents' bowlers, finishing with four for 22. Prapta Das finished with three for 24 for the hosts.
Hedayatullah Mohammad tore through the batting order, taking five for 62. Nygel Shah backed up well, taking two for 110. Fifty for Theo Robinson, who made 87 for our opponents. The hosts' best was a half-century from Luke Giumelli, who made 71.
There were some classy individual efforts to build on. A tough stretch, and one the team will be determined to end.
Plenty to work on, and plenty to like.
