Our Carlton 2nd XI had to settle for a loss as they were denied by Footscray 2nd XI in a disappointing result.
We batted first and put 3/221 on the board from 39 overs. A classy 56 not out off 60 balls from Lucas Cavigan was the highlight. Lachlan Shinn-mahony passed fifty on the way to 55 off 66 balls with four fours. Keir Lucas contributed 43 off 67 balls.
Footscray 2nd XI knocked off the runs, finishing on 1/222 in 36.4 overs. Joshua Pace made a polished 121 not out for the visitors, a century worth applauding. Our opponents' best was a half-century from Alfie Miles, who made 58.
The visitors were too strong this time around. It's two defeats on the trot, and the team will be eager to bounce back. We're currently 15th on the ladder.
Next up, we travel to face Ringwood 2nd XI next Saturday.
