The Sham before the Storm - McGill's Midweekers sunk without trace

With the sky above Edinburgh opening up and drenching the Capital on Friday, it was perhaps an ominous sign the night before at Arbo when McGill's Midweekers leaked wickets with consummate ease against OCCC.

A bit of rain in Edinburgh on Friday!

Not much can be said about the game to be fair other than Princess Huffy aka Matt Cunningham was throwing his bat around for a second day in a row at Arbo but this time connecting with the ball. His retiral was perhaps one of the very few highlights of the night.

With the 1st XI up at Boroughmuir on Activcity Cup duty, the Midweekers pulled together a nucleus of a side and in the true spirit of T20 friendly cricket, the oppo 'loaned' a couple of fielders to the hosts, one of them taking two catches to allow Matt to take back to back wickets!

Overall, a pretty comprehensive win by the OCCC, a splinter group formed out of the Cross a few years back. Cross reaching 102, OCCC storming past that total with 33 balls to spare.

The game also saw the return of Callum McIntosh to Arbo following his defection to Tranent CC. His trigger finger seeing McGill return to the sheds for his second duck in a week at Arbo. Surely a Club Record?

McGill's magic fails to shine
