A GRADE PRACTICE MATCH
A Riverside XI took on a Northcote XI in a 40 overs a side match on Sunday which was a good chance for some pre-season match conditioning. Batting first we knocked up 8/180 odd with Steve Gleeson notching a half century and contributions from Scott Gibbs, Seb Linssen, new player Craig Meredith and Shane Doyle with some big hitting at the end. We bowled well overall and Northcote finished with around 150 from their 40 overs. It was a good hitout for our boys and a chance to see some of our new prospects show their wares.

For those who are unaware, Mark Doyle has spent the past 5 seasons playing Premier Cricket at Northcote, where he was Club Champion in 2009/10. Scott Gibbs is continuing in his role as Club Coach.
