The end of season presentation of trophies of the Dumfries and Galloway Squash Leagues took place recently at Dumfries Sports Club.
An exciting climax to both leagues finished with Lockerbie winning the first division and Castle Douglas taking the honours in the second division.
Both leagues were as competitive as ever and respective captains Davy Lindsay (Lockerbie) and Colin Davies (Castle Douglas) paid tribute to all teams for their efforts throughout the season.
It was a double celebration for Colin as he also picked up the player of the year award for Division 2 with Les Harkness (Nunholm) winning in the top league.
Once again thanks go to John Henderson & Sons for their sponsorship and Iain Murray handed over the two league trophies to Chairman John Glendinning.

Primary cricket teams raring to go at Nunholm
Local primary schools have not quite been hearing the smack of leather on willow this summer – more the thump of plastic on plastic.
Along with a team from Galloway and another from Lockerbie, pupils from Collin, Duncow, Georgetown and Noblehill Primary Schools came to Nunholm for a series of Kwik cricket matches between ten teams.
For four Friday evenings in June the teams bowled fast, threw hard and hit big as five games took place simultaneously on the ground. In all there were over sixty young participants who enjoyed their time with bat and ball.

Kwik Cricket action at Nunholm
The Collin “A-Team” proved to be the champions – being undefeated in their 8 matches.
There was plenty of enthusiasm and no little skill on show and hopefully some of the primary pupils will have been enthused enough to return to Nunholm for some of the Dumfries Cricket Club weekly junior coaching sessions – which carry on through the summer holidays – on Mondays from 6.15-8pm.
Thanks go to the volunteers who umpired and organised the matches and the teachers and team managers for marshalling their sides.
Nunholm's Rennie and Johnston batting record
It was a day for records at Nunholm on Saturday as Russell Johnston and Richard Rennie took JMS Nunholm to an astonishing score of 346 for the loss of no wickets in 50 overs against Albert Park in Western Union Division 2. Johnston scored 191 not out, his second century of the season and his highest score, and Rennie scored 125 not out, his maiden century for the club.
Andrew Kyle with five wickets and Chris McCutcheon with three avoided the anticlimax of a draw by bowling Albert Park out for 121 in the 34th over to seal an emphatic 225 run win. Read the rest of this entry »

It was “every run a prisoner” for APD Dumfries in a low scoring encounter at RH Corstorphine in National League Division 2 last Saturday. Unfortunately for the Dumfries side it was their opponents that played the get out of jail free card to claim a 22 run win in a match reduced to 38 overs a side.
The Edinburgh side were asked to bat first in conditions that meant that runs were hard to score. Their opener and professional Mommsen applied himself and reached the highest score of the day, a mere 34. Opening bowler Stuart Alexander bowled a tight spell and when Mommsen was dismissed by Beveridge three wickets were down for 55 off 16 overs. Read the rest of this entry »
