At Princes Park - Turf Oval 2, our Carlton 3rd XI were bettered by Melbourne University 3rd XI on a day that didn't go our way.
Melbourne University 3rd XI finished on 7/200, and we finished on 9/199. Jack Atkinson made a terrific 67 off 83 balls, a well-made fifty. There were also handy runs from Nicanor Martel (33). Brodie O'Donnell claimed three for 26 for the visitors. Rowan Jesper weighed in with three for 52 for our opponents.
The visitors' Ali Khan made a classy 109. Vincent Bush led the way with the ball, finishing with three for 38. Leo Dench weighed in with two for 37 off nine overs.
Credit to our opponents, who played well. That's three losses in a row, but the side will keep working hard. Well played to the visitors.
