1stXI Batting Leads To A Dissapointing Weekend

Still without the services of Harp’s, the 1stXi went into a two game weekend on the back of a poor batting display against Corstorphine. The Saturday was against SMRH away and on a good track Kelburne chose to bat first hoping to build a total to defend. It started of steadily enough with Andy Robin hitting a few decent shots, however at the other end wickets kept falling which eventually led to Robin getting himself out trying to push for much needed runs. The tail also collapsed and the total posted was only 126. SMRH then came in to bat and apart from an early wicket they batted comfortabely and caught the total only 3 down after 36 overs.

The Sunday saw Kelburne Travel to Renfrew to play in the first round of the scottish cup. Renfrew batted first and hit a score of 270-5 with the pro getting 126. It was a good track and Kelburne were confident of chasing this, it started off well however the batting collapsed again with noone apart from Hamilton able to stick about. Kelurne ended up all out for 127.

The 1stXi face Edinburgh on Saturday and hopefully they can get things together and bat the way we all know they can.

SCORECARDS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON IN THE RESULTS SECTION
