Atherton washed away by Cassowary Coast
ATHERTON suffered their third loss of the season at the hands of Cassowary Coast on Saturday after traveling to Innisfail for their 40 over first grade match.
After being forced to bowl first, it was a tough start for the Atherton bowlers with Cassowary Coast getting off to a great start, not losing a wicket until Logan Poggioli effected a brilliant run out in the 22nd over.
Captain Tom Boorman took the important wicket of Clint Ratatagia just a few overs later which started a middle order collapse with four wickets falling for just five runs, restricting Cassowary Coast to 6/167 off their 40 overs.
Atherton’s top order failed to impress and found themselves 3/33 before Tom Boorman built a 40-run partnership with Pete Sceresini followed by another with Matt Nielsen, putting 32 between them.
With the score at 6/112 wickets quickly tumbled and Atherton found themselves all out for 136 in the 33rd over.
Atherton will play host to Mulgrave next weekend at Loder Park.
