Tommy McBride takes charge v Stoneywood
Thomas McBride from Dumfries Cricket Club was selected yesterday for Scotland U19s in their match against Durham Academy at Uddingston.
He bowled well to claim two wickets. He and Willie Rowan, formerly of Prestwick and now Greenock CC, were the sole representatives from the Western Region in the XI.
Congratulations from the Sports Club on adding to the Scotland representatives across the various sections who ply their sport at Nunholm.
APD Dumfries finally get to play a home fixture in the Murgitroyd Scottish Twenty/20 Cup on Sunday. This competition was introduced last season when Dumfries were successful in winning the Borders section and playing, but losing, in the semi-final to eventual winners Carlton.

In the first round this time they play St Boswells who they beat in the Borders final last year. For the quickest form of the game, Dumfries have opted for youth with an average team age of 23. Skipper Scott Beveridge and vice-captain Stuart Corbett-Byers are in to provide the cricketing wisdom and Scotland U19 and U17 picks, Chris Bellwood and Tommy McBride, are present to lead their contemporaries.
The game starts at 2pm, finishes by 4:30, and Sports Club members, juniors, supporters and spectators are very welcome at Nunholm to view some 20/20 cricket from the comfort of the bar. See www.dumfriescricketclub.co.uk for information. Read the rest of this entry »
