Cricket: APD Dumfries winning run over
26 05 2009
Jim Patterson
After five wickets were down in the fifties it needed a fighting fifty partnership from Jim Patterson with 29 and Jerry Goodin with 23 to rescue the side from a perilous 99 for 7. Only opener Alan Davidson got past twenty with 27 and the side needed to bowl and field well to defend the all out total of 160.
The spin of Scott Beveridge was needed to get rid of the two openers and a fine opening spell from Jim Patterson removed numbers 4 and 5. However their South African professional, Van Wyk (47no), found a partner in Fleming (41no) and 81 for 4 was the best it got for Dumfries as they went down by 6 wickets. Read the rest of this entry »

Cricket: Byers blitzes Boswells
20 05 2009
Byo keeping his sponsors, the Nunholm Card School, entertained.
Stuart Corbett-Byers provided a run feast in APD Dumfries’s ten wicket win over St Boswells in the Scottish 20/20 Cup on Sunday.
Chasing a total of 93 he amassed a score of 78 not out in just 12 overs. The die was cast for St Boswells when he hit the first over for 18.
Thereafter they failed to subdue him as he sent spectators diving for covers with a spate of sizes and fours.
However St Boswells could claim the sixes of the day with two being launched out of the ground, over the Nunholm road and disturbing the Sunday diners at the Casa Mia.
Despite that Dumfries contained their innings to below five an over on a good wicket with both Robert McBride and Jerry Goodin taking two wickets apiece.
This followed on from nearly another ten wicket win at Nunholm over Renfrew in National League Division 2. Read the rest of this entry »

Squash Open Day, Sat 23rd May 12-5pm
19 05 2009
Squash for the 2016 Olympics
The Squash Open Day at Nunholm takes place this Saturday, the 23rd May, from 12 noon to 5pm.
This takes place on World Squash Day and marks the world-wide campaign to get squash included in the 2016 Olympics.
It is free squash and racketball for all and exhibition matches involving the club’s Scottish Masters Internationalists start at 2pm.
A 3 man team competition will run throughout the afternoon. Registration is at the club at 12 noon. Entry is free.
The aim for the day is to give those who have not tried squash an opportunity to have a go. Specifically it is open to non Sports Club members! Eye protection for junior players and rackets will be available along with some refreshments.
May the 23rd is World Squash Day and for this year is rebranded as Squash 2016 Day to support the Olympic bid. More information is available on the official website squash2016.info and there is an opportunity for squash players to get involved on www.worldsquashday.com.
The Olympic initiative is backed by Scot Peter Nicol, former World no 1, “If I’d been given the opportunity, I would have been there. My four Commonwealth Games gold medals were my best achievements as a squash player. So I can only imagine what it would be like to be an Olympian, it would be the highest honour in the squash world.”
