There was no joy for our Melbourne University 1st XI, who were held off by Casey South Melbourne 1st XI at home on Saturday.
Batting first, Casey South Melbourne 1st XI posted 6/218 from 32 overs. Ashley Chandrasinghe posted 54 for the visitors, a fine fifty. Ruwantha Kellapotha passed fifty for our opponents, finishing with 50. Yuvraj Singh was the pick of our bowlers with two for 49.
In reply, the side were all out for 113 in 24.5 overs. Douglas Warren led the way with 48 off 37 balls with two fours and five sixes. Solid support came from Henry Melville, who made 25. Akshay Ramkumar was the main threat for the visitors, taking four for 18.
On the ladder, we're sitting 13th. The boys will be eager to put this one behind them against Kingston Hawthorn 1st XI next Saturday.
