a great day for Ziggy and Coastal1sts beat Largo (keeping them 3rd)
Holy Cross 184/7
E. Smith 72, S. Bonfield 60*
C. Barclay 3/29
Largo 117ao (6 points)
S. Bonfield 3/14, C. Ellis 4/ 24.
A solid victory built upon a partnership of 103 between Euan 'one shot'**
Smith and Shannon 'back playing like the pro' Bonfield which helped give
us an above-par score on a soft track.
Our strong bowling unit then squeezed their batting line-up (Shannon
taking the key wicket of Stinson) and forcing into them into some
over-ambitious shots on this type of surface.
2nds beat Falkland 2's (which may well have secured their Div 5 status)
Holy Cross 2nd XI beat Falkland 3rd XI by 6 wickets
Falkland 138-9 :(Biswas 4/24)
Holy Cross 2nd XI 142-6 ( A Quinn 50odd*, A Graham 36*) (having been 15-5, all to Alistair Melville whose 1st spell was 5-5)
3rds beat Edin South 2's (putting them 2nd)
Holy Cross 3rd XI beat Edinburgh South 2nd XI by about 65 runs scores- HX3 about 164-6 (R Ellis 67*, S. Russell 38) ; Edin South 2 about 99.
**most unfair- he only scored 87.5 % of his runs with a pull.

In fact our 2nd can't be caught by Largo now so it is Div 5 again next year thanks to the two magnificent Andys, as well as Brian and Shammo.
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to see who will be in the league, and as I'm supposed to be a batsman, I look at the pitches - out go the Inch and Peebles (no loss there) as well as Heriots and Largo(both fine pitches). In come Watsonians and SMRH probably, as well as Stirling and Musselburgh - so four good venues.
provisional Div 1 table:
ReplyDeleteFauld 83.75
Accies 77.5
HX 74.6
Carlton 74.2
Bmuir 69.5
Glens 68
Watsons 62.5
Largo 62.3
Mufs 60
Heriots 51

ReplyDeleteHe's been far too busy with those three young blondes he met on Saturday night to write a report.
The strange thing is...I'm more zinged by the 2nds not being relegated than by Ingerland winning the Ashes. (And I'm pretty zinged about that, I can tell you). And that catch!!!!! It's ironic that the phrase 'Catches Win Matches' can for once be applied to the 2nds. Woot woot.
