Missing the spin of Donaldson and Chritensen it was left toScholsey, Harby, Miller and Mclardie even budgie had an experimental over. At the end of the 40 over the boys had kept GHK down to 225-9 after a quick tea interval Kenny and Ogilvie started off on the right foot keeping up with the rate then disaster struck when Kenny on 36, was bowled by one that ,to say had stay low would be an understatement. Ogilvie followed shortly after then Greenhorn for a duck. Mclardie and Budgie put on a good partnership before Mclardie was out adjudged not to have got back in his crease before the keeper had a shy at the stumps. Budgie began to hit out before being caught in the deep for 35. Two great grabs by the same fielder saw the end of Harby and Miller leaving the tail to try and hold out for the draw eventuall Whitehaugh were bowled out in the 38 over after Young Jak O’connell got an identical delivery to Big Kenny. Back at the club Budgie said ” to be kept waiting for over 2 and a half hours after we left the club was a joke and I’m positive that contributed to the loss I’d like to see the league doing something about this”

2ndXI Washed Out As 1stXI Lose To Corstorphine

Ross — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:15:11 +0000

The 2ndXi game against drumpellier was called off early morning due to the weather being to much for drumps to handle. However over at the kelburne the ground was able to play and the SNCL 2 campaign was kicked off without the services of harps who was unable to be registered on time. Kelburne batted first and after a shaky start posted a dissapointing but reasonable total after the top order failed to make any inroads. Steven Mclister and Davie Miller were the only problems for the corstorphine bowlers as they managed to get the total from 50-5 to around 120-6 unti Mclister was run out on 42. Miller soon followed and it left the tail end to then try and stay the 50 overs. They put up a good fight but fell short in the 42nd over for 146. Corstorphine then went into bat and it started well for kelburne with a run out in the early overs, Mclister then started to put pressure on the batsmen but no wickets came from it. These two then put on a major partnership and despite all the hard efforts by the players in the field and a few close calls, the game was sliding away. Allan came back on and dismissed the no.3 while Maclean at the other end bowled out the other, at this stage they needed four to win so the game was won within the next few overs. It was a dissapointing result however many positives were taken from the game and we will be looking to carry these into the coming weeks of a long hard season.
