t20 Victory v Bundoora United

Riverside 6/145 (S Villani 33) def Bundoora United 8/141(cc) (L Morgan 2/12 B Lewis 2/35)

 

Congratulations to our T20 side who was victorious over Bundoora United last night at Whatmough Park, bowling first in wet conditions, the boys toiled hard in some strong rain to keep Bundoora United to 8/141 from their 20 overs, Luke Morgan taking 2/12 from 3 overs, opening the bowling. Brett Lewis also took 2/35 along with a couple of run outs bowling at the death. Connor Gedge & Sean Money also picked up a wicket each as marquee man Dan Sartori chipped in with a couple of catches.

 

With the bat, we had 7 batsman reach double figures as we chased down 141 for the loss of 6 wickets, Skipper Steve Villani led the way with 33 along with contributions from Nathan Chrimes (24) and Ben Money (22), the loss of some quick wickets in the middle meant at 6/115 we still required 27 from 24 balls, but Sean Money (17*) and Dillon Pote (13*) guided us home with 12 balls to spare and open our campaign with a win. We will now take on the Old Paradians at Garvey oval in our next game in a fortnight.
