Man of the Match Josh Geary scored 92 for APD Dumfries
Dumfries were put into bat in what seemed good sunny batting conditions but an lbw in the first over to Allan and another a few overs later put the side on the back foot. However the cavalry came from down under as Beveridge and Geary restored fortunes. They shared a hundred and thirty run partnership as they gradually increased the innings run rate to five an over.

With the loss of eight players, including top goal scorer and player of the season, this was always going to be a hard season, writes John McCoskry, Dumfries Men’s Hockey club captain 09/10.
This was evident in our opening four games where we were over five players short and subsequently lost 19 goals with only two in response – one of our worst ever starts to the season.
Things started to look up after the fifth game, it was at home to Kelburne and our first with a full squad. We romped home with a convincing 5 – 0 win. This we followed up with a 2-1 home win to Ayr. Read the rest of this entry »
