Cricket: Josh back for APD Dumfries

7 04 2010

Josh - top run scorer for APD Dumfries last season

The cricket season is fast approaching for Dumfries Cricket Club with their first fixtures of the year taking place next weekend with two friendly games against Ferguslie on Saturday (17th) and Hillhead on the Sunday (18th).

The match against Ferguslie takes on greater significance since the Paisley club find themselves in the same division of the National Leagues as APD Dumfries after two successive relegations dropped them from the Premier League. The sides play ‘for real’ two weeks later at Ferguslie in the opening league match of Division 2.

After just missing out on promotion last season APD Dumfries will be looking to Aussie Josh Geary who is back for another season to produce last year’s batting form that helped make him the club’s Players’ Player of the Year. He was the club’s top run scorer in the league with 466 runs at an impressive average of nearly 47 and he was the side’s ‘finisher’ in a number of run chases.

Once more for 2010, as they have done for all of the club’s four years in the Scottish National Leagues, Dumfries are sponsored by APD Ltd. The seconds, JMS Nunholm, are again sponsored by JMS Cricket Ltd and a new sponsor Site Electrical Ltd is backing the club and the youth orientated Sunday XI now in Division 2 of the Strathclyde League after they gained promotion in 2009. The club are very grateful for all their valuable support.

The popular Monday evening junior cricket is starting up again at Nunholm on the 19th April, 18:15 to 20:00 for all abilities, boys and girls, aged 8 to 14.

Squash: So Below rise to the Top

1 04 2010

The So Below squash team won Division 1 of the John Henderson and Sons D and G Squash League with a crushing win over Finite Engineering.

The final week of the D and G Squash league opened with So Below holding a slim lead over Bard Vets with Finite Engineering also still in the running.

Bard Vets won their last match on Monday night with a convincing win over Noblehill and thus led the league by five points.

Needing six points to seal the league title, So Below were quietly confident but expected a close contest with Finite.

On the night, however, Finite’s No.1 player withdrew due to illness, which put pressure on all their remaining players to play up a position.

In the end, this proved too big a task, and after the first two matches of the night, So Below had secured the necessary six points with 3-0 wins for Robert Grierson and Keith Gristwood.

The remainder of the team continued the run with 3-0 wins for Sue Strachan and Jim Scriven, and a 3-1 win for Jimmy Wells to secure maximum points and the league title.

Division 1: Noblehill 3 Bard Vets 17; So Below 18 Finite 1.

Squash: Dumfries bag two titles at nationals masters

1 04 2010

Dumfries Squash Club was represented at the ultimate Scottish Squash Masters tournament of the season, the Scottish Nationals in Aberdeen and came away with two titles and two runner-ups, even though several players missed the tournament due to injury or other commitments.

Davy Rogan comfortably won all of his round-robin matches to secure the O-75s title and top the Scottish rankings again.

In the O-45s current Scottish Champion Jimmy Wells was in excellent form once again.

He won his quarter-final 3-1 and in the semi-final he defeated Lockerbie’s Ronnie Carter 3-0.

In the final he faced Mike Spalding who had just moved into the O-45s. In a close first set, Wells took a 5-1 lead but was under constant pressure and a burst racket string broke his momentum resulting in losing 9-7.

In the second set, Wells struggled to regain control and lost that 9-3. In the third set, he again took a strong lead only to be pegged back and finally losing 9-6.

While not retaining his Scottish title, Jimmy Wells could take some comfort from topping the O-45 Scottish rankings. Read the rest of this entry »
