Your Starter for...60 points


60 point weekend!. Ists scrape a 14 run win at West Lothian. Crucial innings by Dougie Russell helped us attain a defendable total of 104 (batting conditions not easy). Not exactly a classic performance but some tight bowling at the end was an encouraging sign. Scorecard HERE
Many thanks to PVB for scoring.

2's Win at a damp Arbo vs Dunfermline Carnegie. Vikram the star man.

3rds get a walkover vs Largo.

  • 2nds vs Dunfermline Carnegie, at Arbo, 1pm start.


There are nets at Arbo on Thursday evenings for the next three weeks.

Honorary President Hugh Kilpatrick

With great pleasure I'd like to welcome Holy Cross founding member and still the most dapper veteran player of any age Hugh Kilpatrick as our new Honorary President.  Let's hope that now he doesn't need to worry about driving home he can let his hair down with a couple of pints on the boundary.  Look forward to seeing you soon, Hugh.
