Given that it was a sunny afternoon I decided to wander down and see how the Cross were getting on. I was impressed by the young athletes flinging themselves around the park...but I soon moved on from The Grange and arrived at Arbo.
There, a familiar looking 2nd XI were in confident mood having bowled out Glenrothes 3rds for 103. Despite arriving late (forcing Michael to sub field) Smudger picked up 5 wickets.
I nipped over to Inverleith to catch the final 7 balls of the match..
The firsts had recovered from 35/6 thanks to a decent partnership
between Owais and Robin but 84 was never likely to test SMRH 2's
(especially on a true artificial pitch..)-they surpassed HX's total in
just under 20 overs. Disappointing after last week's good start to the
season.
Back to Arbo. Coastal Ken had been dismissed (a lengthy duck) but Ziggy (47no) and JB (35no) knocked off the runs with relative ease (even if Jon did receive a couple of let-offs). Confidence building win for the twos.
Post match drinks in the Arbo sun made me think I'd stepped through a wormhole...same people*, same view... same chat..
*in fairness there were a few new faces, which is encouraging to see.
But where is McGILL?????
