Our Tea Tree Gully West End One Day Cup had to settle for a loss as they were held off by Adelaide on a day that didn't go our way.
Batting first, Adelaide posted 6/243 from 44 overs. Credit to Connor Carroll, who made a half-century (91) for our opponents. Noah McFadyen passed fifty for the visitors, finishing with 52. Luke Hollman was the pick of the bowlers, taking two for 40 off nine overs. Tim Oakley backed up well, taking two for 46.
Chasing 244, we reached 9/216 from 44 overs. Joe Gatting brought up a polished half-century, finishing with 56 off 83 balls. Solid support came from Hollman, who made 44. Noah McFadyen bowled well for our opponents, taking four for 35.
A tough stretch, and one the group will be determined to end. Chins up, everyone.
