On Saturday at Mark Taylor Oval, our Fairfield-Liverpool 2nd went down to Northern District 2nd on a day to learn from.
Northern District 2nd made 8/278, and we made 160 and 7/140. Yash Singh passed fifty on the way to 53 off 84 balls with eight fours. Solid support came from Quinn Cooper, who made 38. Singh chipped in with 33. A five-wicket haul to Jordan Fullagar for the hosts (five for 16).
Loqman Tawakal finished with five for 55, a five-wicket haul to savour. Luke Meek bowled nicely for two for 85. Jon Whealing made a classy 86 for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with.
It's four defeats on the trot, and the side will be eager to bounce back. We'll go again.
