Alan Davidson won the Jimmy Steele Bowling Trophy for his match winning performance of 6 wickets for 30 in the final title decider match against rivals West of Scotland.

This week Cricket Scotland also awarded the Nunholm club their Fair Play Award for the 2012 season.

Also picking up trophies were Hugh Farries as the 2nd XI Player of the Year who was the top run scorer after the side finished third in the Reserve League. One of the club’s three century makers this season, Marcus Richardson, was the Young Player of the Year. Kirsty Strachan and Rosy Ryan, who both played for Scotland U17s , won the Women’s awards as Player the Year and the Most Improved Player respectively.

Cricket: Scotland Womens Tour for Strachan

6 11 2012

Dumfries cricketer Kirsty Strachan is excited about an invitation to play in an international tournament in Dubai next year.

Kirsty, who plays for the Dumfries CC Women’s team, has been picked in a Scotland Womens Development squad to play in an MCC invitational tournament in Dubai in February.

She, along with the rest of the squad, is hard at work fundraising to help raise £15,000, which will enable the Scotland side to compete, with the prospect of matches against leading English counties such as Lancashire and Durham, along with Wales and an MCC side.

“It is a great opportunity for the players and for the Womens’ game in Scotland. So the team would welcome any sponsors and supporters for the side and players who can help make the trip happen.” Fundraising is being co-ordinated online through www.tinyurl.com/WildcatsDubai.

Although the squad will predominately be under 19, four over-age players are able to participate and will offer guidance as the next generation of players gain valuable experience in a new environment for most of them. [Cricket Scotland: Scotland Wildcats Development Squad to UAE]

Strachan is training with the Scotland Womens squad over the winter as is the Nunholm club’s Rachel Howard who is training with Scotland U17s.
