Despite some good moments, our University - 3s were denied by Claremont-Nedlands - 3s at Melvista Oval.
Claremont-Nedlands - 3s batted first and reached 7/214 from 45 overs. Fifty for Cameron Baker, who made 71 for our opponents. For the hosts, Franklin Stewart Lough was unbeaten on 39. Mark Shirley starred with the ball, taking three for 48. Joshua Sharpe added two for 31.
Our chase ended at 127 from 40.4 overs. Andrew Blake top-scored, making 33 off 52 balls. A six-wicket haul to Liam Gollan for our opponents (six for 19).
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again. That's three losses in a row, but the side will keep working hard. Chins up, everyone.
