Despite some good moments, our Hawkesbury 1st went down against St George 1st on Saturday at Bensons Lane - Oval 1 (Owen Earle Oval).
St George 1st's innings ended at 203, ours at 156. Dale McKay led the way with 49 off 83 balls with four fours. Taj Brar also got among the runs with 35 off 108 balls. Reiley Mark was the main threat for our opponents, taking four for 39.
A five-wicket haul to Usman Qadir, who finished with five for 40 off 24 overs. The visitors' best was a half-century from Tom Vane-Tempest, who made 67. Fifty for Mark, who made 51 not out for our opponents.
There are plenty of positives to take out of this one. The results haven't gone our way lately, but the side will keep at it. Credit to the visitors, and well played.
