The Bulldogs first grade side travelled across the harbour for the one-day match and despite some strong performances, the Whales scraped home in the final over to win by two wickets at 8 for 291.
Solway lost the toss and was sent into bat at the picturesque Alan Border Oval.
The Bulldogs lost few early wickets, but Solway was yet again proving how good he is against the Sydney competition’s best batsmen, with a stunning 109 not out, which included eight boundaries.
He received some great support from ‘keeper Ethan Deal (53) and Brendan Smith (49) along with some solid contributions from other batsmen.
The Dogs set a sizeable total of 6 for 289 after their allotted 50 overs, however the Whales slowly but steadily wore down the Dogs’ bowlers.
While the wickets were shared among the bowlers, spinner Le Bas ended up with the best figures with 3 for 32 off 7 overs while the Bulldogs quicks were more expensive than usual.
