1st Grade Match Summary Round 2

Prospect defeat Southern District

We lost the toss and Prospect had a bat on a damp morning at Prospect Oval. Things started pretty well picking up a few wickets consistently throughout the first morning. With the score at 4/140 midway through the day the game was in the balance. Prospect then put on a good partnership and finished the day at 6/318. Tanner 2/93 was the only multiple wicket taker, with Roberts, Stewart, Marshall all taking 1. Stewart also got a run out. Prospect declared overnight leaving us with 319 to win on Day 2. Things got off to a slow start with the bat with us sitting at 2/53 at lunch. We picked up the pace through the middle session and were 4/157 at tea time. Unfortunately a couple of quick wickets straight after tea left the tail with too much work to do and we were bowled out for 227 with just 7 overs left in the day. Narrowly missing out on a draw.

Barrett 56, Tanner 34, Sugg 31 the leading run scorers.
