The Tungamah Hoppers faced a tough road test at Berrigan Recreation Reserve, taking on an undefeated Berrigan side sitting second on the ladder.
Batting first after losing the toss, the Hoppers were bowled out for 98 in 27 overs.
Captain Benjamin Beaton led from the front with a gritty unbeaten 37 from 48 deliveries, including three fours and a six. Nick Brockley provided plenty of momentum with an entertaining 30 from just 23 balls, striking five boundaries. Vice-captain Christopher Johnstone also contributed a patient 14 from 27 deliveries to help steady the innings.
Defending their total, the Hoppers battled hard against a strong Berrigan batting lineup. Brady Hayes produced the standout bowling performance, claiming 1/7 from two overs, while Desi Doyle kept things economical with 0/5 from one over. Wally Thomson also contributed with the ball and produced a sharp run-out in the field.
Despite the result going the way of the undefeated hosts, the Hoppers showed plenty of grit and team spirit and will be looking to bounce back in the coming rounds.
Man of the Match: Captain Benjamin Beaton – 37 not out.
