A Grade go down in a tough match at Koola Park

The A Grade side, making their return to turf cricket, went down agonisingly in a tough match against North Ryde RSL at Koola Park. The ‘Bridge suffered from early season nerves on the first day, being bowled out for 128 on a tricky Koola wicket. The word from the troops is that spin played a big part in it, with the skipper mentioning it was the best spin bowling he has faced in a long time.

Day 2 was a better day for the ‘Bridge, but ultimately we fell at the final hurdle, with 1 run needed to force the opposition to bat again and only 5 overs left in the day. To make matters worse, we had 2 batsman missing (with one who didn’t turn up at all!). But we fought hard despite this, and will gather momentum for the next round.
