After the good win against Nunholm a pumped up 2XI confident they could post another 25 points to there league total set off from Whitehaugh for the 20 minute drive to the school ground at Anniesland only to find out on arrival Glasgow High school were playing and they would have to wait 33 overs till the game could be played so eventually at 2:35pm and a reduction of overs to 80 it was game on and Budgie won the toss and opted to bowl first.. 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”
