Dumfries – Grangemouth Winners
Dumfries Women won their first indoor tournament outing of the year with three wins to claim first spot at the Cricket Scotland sixes tournament at Grangemouth on Sunday.
The side beat Edinburgh University and Stirling County in their Group games with disciplined bowling and fielding restricting their opponents and Rachel Howard setting the standard by taking a special caught and bowled in the very first over against the University. In each match openers Kirsty Strachan and Rosy Ryan took charge of the run scoring to win with an over to spare.
It was a South-West final as Dumfries took on Galloway but Dumfries were able to continue the pattern. Galloway scored 41 for 2 in their five overs with Sue Jeffrey marking an impressive debut clattering the stumps to take 1 for 3. Then Strachan and Ryan again saw the Nunholm side home with an over to spare. They along with Captain Sue Strachan and Kelsey Paterson were able to collect their winner’s medals after an encouraging outing. The Parkdale Garage Dumfries Player of the Tournament went to Kirsty Strachan for a mature performance with the bat and in her debut behind the stumps.

Holders Dumfries Women took third place at the Cricket Scotland Womens indoor 6-a-side tournament at Peebles on Sunday with a comprehensive win over Edinburgh University in their play-off match.
The side won both their group games with Ally McCubbin hitting a crucial six in a close one wicket win over St Boswells and Kirsty Strachan top scoring with a not out fifty, including a remarkable five sixes in one over, to defeat Edinburgh Ladies.
In the semi-final the side lost with two balls and two wickets left as eventual tournament winners Galloway successfully passed a challenging total of 56. The team then produced their best performance with a five wicket win against Edinburgh University chasing down a target of 41 in just two overs.
Kirsty Strachan was Dumfries’s top scorer with over a hundred runs for one dismissal and she and Rachel Howard and Rosy Ryan bowled well handling the opening overs. Captain Sue Strachan chipped in with three wickets, including being on a hat-trick, and debutant youngster Kelsey Patterson starred taking two wickets, both bowled.
The Parkdale Garage Dumfries Player of the Tournament was Rosy Ryan as top wicket taker with a wicket in each of her four overs plus hitting 72 runs opening the batting with Strachan. However, each of the players showed their improvement in an enjoyable tournament which was played at an increasingly higher standard.
The Nunholm club’s Womens and Girls sessions resume indoors this Sunday with soft-ball cricket at Max High Sports Hall from 11:30 to 13:00 with newcomers to the sport encouraged to come along. Contact dumfriescricketclub@gmail.com for details, or see www.dumfriescricketclub.co.uk.
