Sutherland’s third grade team played their first home match of the 2003-04 season at Sutherland Oval against Western Suburbs on 4 October 2003. Western Suburbs won the toss and sent Sutherland in to bat. Their skipper must have known something, because the score at tea was 8/97 off 37 overs. First ball after the break, the score was 9/97 and number 11 Daniel Marandola was heading to the crease to join number 7 bat Aaron Phillips, who was 26 not out. In 69 previous matches for the club, Daniel’s highest score was 18.
