APD Dumfries recorded an important win in National League Division 2 on Saturday by beating Freuchie at Nunholm by a convincing 8 wickets. Stuart Corbett-Byers starred by hitting an excellent unbeaten century as the side successfully chased 198.

This was after Stuart Alexander struck early with two wickets and Chris Bellwood made an impact in the Dumfries bowling attack by taking four wickets for thirty four as Freuchie finished on 198 for 8.

In reply Corbett-Byers (sponsored by the Nunholm Card School) came in with the score on 1 and together with Josh Geary, who finished on 63 not out, finished on exactly 100 not out and saw his side through to a win with 15 overs to spare. This was the club’s first century of the season and the first in the National League since 2006.

The win strengthens the side’s hold on second place. The game this Saturday looks like a crunch encounter when they are away at the leaders Falkland who are currently unbeaten with five wins out of five. Read the rest of this entry »





Cricket: Dumfries’s juniors in action

10 06 2009

The DG U13 Cricket League had a top two clash at Nunholm last Sunday when the two sides from the West of the region played out for top spot. The match report can be read here.

This year there is a new initiative for youth cricket in the West with a Western Regional Academy team playing in Western Union Division 1. They play each team, away, once just as the Scotland Under-19s do in the National Premier League.

Gatehouse of Fleet played host to Sunday’s match against Galloway. The club’s Thomas McBride, the WCA captain, top scored for his side with a fifty. The match report for that game can be found here.
