Cricket: Primary School Initiative at Nunholm

1 07 2010

Primary School teams up for cricket at Nunholm

Dumfries Cricket Club’s Primary Schools summer term initiative culminated on Friday with a predominately Noblehill team taking on a Collin/Georgetown select in a hard-ball game.

The “experienced” Aiden Collingwood demonstrated his class and dominated the match by taking 5 wickets and scoring 20 runs.

Adam Gilliland and Gavin Irving used the benefit of coaching received at the club and also looked good with the bat. For Noblehill Keir Morton was the leading wicket-taker and Craig Penrice and Ronan Dunbar the top run-scorers.

Kwik cricket action at Dumfries Cricket Club

Over the course of four weeks local schools were invited to the club and over sixty primary school children played cricket on the Nunholm ground with teams and participants from schools at Collin, Georgetown, Noblehill, Cargenbridge, and Cummertrees involved. The schools played a series of soft-ball matches played under kwik cricket rules, obviously enjoyed themselves and also impressed the club’s ex-cricketers who had “volunteered” their services to umpire the matches.

This is the second year of primary schools playing regularly at the club over a period of weeks and Rory Fergusson, the Club’s Junior Convenor, said “The club are delighted that the club’s links with local schools are proving beneficial and we look forward to doing more with them.”

Thanks and appreciation are due to the umpires and the parents and teachers who supported the initiative – especially John Gillies and Pam Abraham of Collin and Noblehill primary schools respectively. Read the rest of this entry »

Cricket: APD Dumfries miss out on Scottish Cup Semi-Final

1 07 2010

Scott Beveridge took 3 wickets in the Scottish Cup match

On Sunday APD Dumfries lost their first ever Scottish Cup quarter-final match, away against Division one side Stoneywood-Dyce. Dumfries scored 179 with forties from Tom McBride and Josh Geary and, despite three wickets from Scott Beveridge, the Aberdeenshire side hit the winning runs with five wickets left and overs to spare.

Having playing at home on the Saturday it was a bleary eyed APD Dumfries that set off in the minibus at six in the morning for the marathon trip to play beside Aberdeen Airport. Then on arrival Stoneywood-Dyce put the Dumfries side in to bat.

Against a tight opening attack openers Tom McBride and Russell Johnston had reached 22 when Johnston was bowled by Scotland all-rounder Stander. Andy Parkinson came in to join McBride as the pair were made to work hard for their runs. After 25 overs the total was 68 for 1. Read the rest of this entry »

Cricket: APD Dumfries win top of table clash

1 07 2010

Captain Stuart Corbett-Byers top scored with 51

In National League Division Two on Saturday leaders APD Dumfries overcame the challenge of third placed West Lothian by four wickets at Nunholm thanks to an all-round team performance. West Lothian scored 246 for 8 with Scott Beveridge taking three wickets. Dumfries chased that down with seven overs left with Stuart Corbett-Byers scoring 51, Beveridge 45, and 46 not out from Josh Geary.

Dumfries decided to let West Lothian bat first and avoid a run chase involving their in-form professional Van Wyk. The decision bore fruit when Josh Geary took a wicket, caught McCutcheon, second ball. Maskrey had the opposition skipper Raven caught by the keeper and with no addition Geary also had the other opener lbw, twenty seven for three in the 10th over.

However that was perhaps where the match started for Dumfries with pro Kruger Van Wyk coming out to join Cookson at the wicket. As the division’s top run scorer and with an average of over one hundred sending him back to the Nunholm pavilion was key to the course of the match. Read the rest of this entry »
