Match Report

vs Falkland (2010-05-03)

Our first game of the season and the first game for many of our players at Under 13 level. Perhaps the firrst round of the Scottish Cup is not ideal preparation for the rest of the season but a good chance to see some new players in action.

Ben won the toss and elected to bat. Scoring 30 runs himself he retired and was ably supported by Andy Vish' who scored an impressive 18 not out.  Unfortunatley the inexperiance of the team showed itself with our inability to move the ball and the innings stalled not through losing wickets but by just standing still to some good bowling from Falkland.

Setting Falkland only 76 to chase they managed to overhaul our score in the 16th over with an impressive 31 retired from Grey. Andy Penman returned figures of 2 wickets for five runs off three overs, Ben Wilkinson 1 run off three overs. 24 extras did not help and shows where we need to work a bit harder at training.

Ben Wilkinson, Andrew Penman, Andi Vishwanathan, Charlie Johnstone, Michael MacLean, David McGovern, Matthew Docherty, Keiran Collins, Sean Thomson, James Day, Euan Riggans.
