Our Fairfield-Liverpool 2nd came unstuck as they were beaten by Blacktown 2nd by 16 runs at Rosedale Oval on Saturday.
Batting first, Blacktown 2nd posted 7/230 from 50 overs. Credit to Waqas Tareen, who made a half-century (95) for the visitors. Hayden Tipping returned figures of three for 35 off ten overs.
In reply, we finished on 214 from 42.5 overs. Brent Atherton made a cracking 84 off 124 balls, a well-made fifty. Ronak Bedi added a useful 31 off 35 balls. Five wickets for Harjit Singh of our opponents, who returned five for 56.
There were some polished individual efforts to build on. Congratulations to the visitors on the win.
