For a team with seven players under the age of 20, the coach was happy with the efforts his men put forward and even though the batting order didn't stick around for as long as he would have liked, he knows he's got a hell of a lot to work with moving forward.

"I'm disappointed in the aspect of not being able to bat our 50 overs out," Weymouth said.

"We want to be setting them a total of around 220 which I think is realistic with the side that we have.

"A lot of players were unavailable today and we've got an average age of 21 so I'm still pretty darn happy with what they dished up."

Blake Weymouth was a shining light in the away side's order as he produced a team-high 37 runs but outside that, three Orange men were dismissed on zero, making it near-impossible to reach the desired total.

Bathurst's Dave Henderson (5/25) was largely responsible for Orange's demise as he had a hat-trick that was part of a devastating five-wicket haul.

"These guys are going to benefit from the experience today," he said.

"This game of cricket is all about betting and when given the opportunity, you want to be able to do that for a long time.

"When you're playing good sides like Bathurst and Dubbo, you need to maximise your time at the crease. We can't afford to be getting rolled in 30, 40 or even 49 overs... we've got to bat out the full 50."

Weymouth might make a change or two in the lead up to the side's next match but ultimately, he knows the talent is there, it just needs more time to get going.

"We'll try to tweak a few things but once this young brigade gets a bit more experience under its belt it will be better off... I'm optimistic."

CYMS' captain Hugh Le Lievre (2/11) is someone Weymouth will want to stick around for the remainder of the campaign as the veteran took a pair of wickets in defeat.

Ed Morrish (1/22) was also dependable with the ball in-hand throughout nine overs of work.

Orange will have plenty of time to make a few changes before its scheduled round four clash against Dubbo in January 2021.
