Our Carlton 3rd XI had to settle for a loss as they were bettered by Ringwood 3rd XI away from home.
After batting first, we finished on 6/262 from 45 overs. Harry Simpson passed fifty on the way to 92 off 101 balls with seven fours and four sixes. Lewis Bouckley brought up a stylish half-century, finishing with 70 off 71 balls. Solid support came from Seth McGinty, who made 35.
Ringwood 3rd XI knocked off the runs, finishing on 4/265 in 43 overs. Hats off to Luke Ivanovic, whose 131 not out was a good century for the hosts. Kanhai Patel grabbed two for 31. McGinty weighed in with two for 43 off eight overs.
Not our day, but there's plenty to work with. That's three losses in a row, but the team will keep working hard. Thanks to our opponents for the contest.
