The 2nd XI needed a win against old rivals East Doncaster to get the season back on track but unfortunately things couldn’t have gone worse. 

We won the toss and batted but a top order collapse had us at 4/10 and in big trouble. Mick Dinneen and Kaz put together a partnership to stop a complete disaster with Maz hitting some form at the end of the innings. In the end though, it was a pretty embarrassing 96 posted by the eagles in just 39 overs.

The amazing batting form of the 2nd XI continued into round 4 with the Eagles getting rolled for only 143 in 56 overs on their home ground against Canterbury.

On November 14th and 21st, the Planning Partners 3rd XI took on East Doncaster 3rd XI at McCutcheon Oval

Marcellin 3rd XI travelled to Mont Albert Reserve to face one of their biggest challenges so far, Mont Albert’s 2nd XI.  With rain early in the week players were asked to report to grounds and play looked unlikely, but when the covers were removed the pitch looked quite good and Marcellin were sent in to bat.

The instructions were clear – bat the 80 overs and we win the game.
