League Weekend 5 and the Week Ahead

Last Saturday Andy Donaldson's unbeaten 50 led the 9-man 3rds to a memorable last wicket victory, but Tom Jordan's half century wasn't quite enough for the 2nds who lost by 4 runs.

Here are this weekend's fixtures -

• 1sts vs Dunnikier, away.
• 2nds vs Grange 3rds at Arbo.
• 3rds vs Morton 3rds, away on Meadows 2.

And midweek -

• Tuesday, Parks Trophy vs Drummond-Trinity at Inverleith Park.
• Wednesday, Nets at Arbo.

Good luck, everyone.

League Weekend 3 and the Week Ahead

Another tough week as the 1sts (despite 3 wickets from Kashif) and 2nds (despite 46 from JB) each lost by 7 wickets and we suffered an early exit in the Masterton.

But the Mighty 3rds won with strong performances from a number of debutants - Steve Ferreira scored a ton at number 8 (!), Jack Hogarth notched a 50 and Phil Kirkby took 3 wickets. And Andy G got a 50 on one leg.

Here are this Saturday's fixtures -

• 1sts vs SMRH (away) - 12 noon start.
• 2nds vs Tranent at Arbo.
• 3rds vs Murrayfield DAFS 4ths away on the Roseburn Park artifical.

There was a decent turnout for nets on Thursday night, so we'll have them again this week - night to be announced after consultation at the weekend.

Good luck, everyone.

League Weekend 2 and the Week Ahead

Not the best start to the League season with three defeats last weekend. Here are the details of our efforts to show "boucebackability" on Saturday -

• 3rds vs Carlton 5ths, home on the Inverleith Park artificial.

And here's the midweek schedule -
