There was plenty to celebrate as our Hoppers Crossing 3rd XI got the better of Plenty Valley 3rd XI at Binnak Park in VSDCA Seniors.
We batted first and put 7/340 on the board from 45 overs. Take a bow, Greg Mitchell: a brilliant 131 not out off 112 balls with seventeen fours. Arjan singh Sandhu was the star with the bat, compiling an excellent 114 off 79 balls with fourteen fours and four sixes. Gurjot Singh bowled beautifully for Plenty Valley 3rd XI, a five-wicket haul of five for 53.
We bowled the hosts out for 190 in 34.1 overs. Veersumatt Singh Sidhu made a fine 79 not out for our opponents, a well-deserved half-century. The wickets were shared around, with Aryan Chugh taking three for 53.
A well-deserved victory for the group. We'd lost to the hosts earlier this season, so this one was especially pleasing. We've now seen off five sides in a row.
Great work, everyone.
