Stuart Corbett-Byers up for National award

The Dumfries Cricket Club ground at Nunholm has been voted the tops amongst the National League Division Two clubs. The 2009 award for “Groundsman of the Year” goes to curator Davie Davidson and groundsman Raymond Murray for their efforts throughout the year.

In the other National divisions the 2009 winners are Uddingston for the Premier Division and Arbroath for the First Division. The presentation from the Institute of Groundmanship takes place on Thursday at the Royal Highland Showground at Ingliston, Edinburgh along with the football awards to the Scottish Premiership and the other 3 Divisions of the Scottish Football League.

Also in line for a Cricket Scotland award is APD Dumfries’s wicketkeeper batsman Stuart Corbett-Byers. He has been nominated for SNCL batsman of the year and all-rounder of the year in National Division 2. He hit two vital centuries during the season and finished with an average of over 40. He was also ranked as the top wicketkeeper claiming 20 victims behind the stumps. The winners will be presented at Cricket Scotland’s annual awards evening in December. His sponsors, the Sunday Nunholm Card School, can now bask in the reflected glory.

The club’s AGM takes place this Friday, the 13th Nov, at 7pm at the Dumfries Sports Club at Nunholm. Members are invited to attend to select the club officials for the 2010 season and to vote on the club awards for the 2009 season.

Daniel and Lister with the tournament organiser

The tennis club’s Lister and Daniel McKiddie took part in the finals of the Family Doubles Championships at the weekend. This is a National Tennis Tournament supported by the Lawn Tennis Association.  

They travelled down to the David Lloyd Dudley tennis centre in Birmingham and played in the Open Father and Son semi-finals.  They put up a good showing but the opposition from Lancashire proved too strong with the son of the pairing having been ranked amongst the top 100 juniors in the world!

Squash: Court Renovations Update

3 11 2009

The latest stage of our squash court renovations programme was completed during the first week of October. The main focus of this stage was the repair and re-plastering of Court 1’s walls and the sanding-down of the floor. At some future date, the floor in Court 1 may need to be lifted, the bearers replaced and the floor re-laid.

On Courts 3 and 4, the front walls were sanded-down, repaired and re-painted while several loose floorboards (and springy areas) were also repaired and the court lines renewed. During the repair of the springy areas we were informed that the distance between the bearers on Courts 3 and 4 are significantly wider apart (700mm) than would be today’s norm (400mm) and as such in the future both these floors will likely require lifting, new bearers inserted and the floors re-laid to maintain the integrity of the playing surface.

We hope the recent repairs have met with your approval. If you discover any new loose boards please contact one of the committee members.

Thanks
The Squash Committee
