Our Hoppers Crossing 1st XI were in fine form and registered a victory over Donvale 1st XI in a dominant display.
We batted first and put 7/307 on the board from 45 overs. A classy 74 off 74 balls from Simon Lambert was the highlight. Fifty for Arihant Rawal, who finished with 66 off 78 balls. Patrick Rowe did the damage for Donvale 1st XI with three for 63.
The hosts were all out for 178 in 44.1 overs in reply. Ben Wright passed fifty for our opponents, finishing with 57. Lambert was the pick of the bowlers, taking three for 23 off nine overs. Brett Smith weighed in with two for 17 off four overs.
The work with the ball set up the win.
Thanks to the hosts for the contest.
