At three wickets down, and with Pat Druce having bowled South African professional Symes for just 5, Dumfries had their opportunity. However Scotland present and past, Ewan Chalmers with 90, and Craig Wright with 40 shared a century partnership and the home side missed crucial chances to break the partnership early. It took a good catch by Alan Davidson to deprive Chalmers of a deserved century and Watsonians lost further wickets in reaching 217. Dickie’s Bar Man of the Match Druce took five wickets, and Alan Davidson and Joe Clarke two each.

Dumfries had a similar difficult start at 55 for 4 but a partnership between Joe Clarke and Drew Dawson edged the side back into contention. However both were out with the score at 134 and any opportunity was lost as the side ended on 161 all out chasing runs in the remaining overs. Clarke top scored for Dumfries with 51. Peter Legget did the early damage for Watsonians with three wickets. On Saturday, APD Dumfries play at Penicuik also in the Scottish Cup.

On Sunday a young Brammer Dumfries team lost at Kelburne in the Sunday League. Openers Niall Alexander and Chris Bellwood scored 27 and 54 respectively but accurate bowling saw wickets tumble for a total of 128. Willie Allan hit 78 not out for Kelburne and Solarae Man of the Match Alexander took the only two wickets to fall to delay the outcome. On Saturday the seconds, CWE Nunholm, play Galloway at home in the Western Cup.

Cricket: Alexander on Worcestershire radar

24 04 2012

Niall in action at Nunholm this season

Niall Alexander of Dumfries Cricket Club has been impressing the coaching staff at County side Worcestershire over the past few months.

He was spotted by a scout whilst opening the bowling for Scotland U15s in England last season and had a successful trial in matches at Worcestershire at the end of last season.

During the winter the youngster has been working hard on the technical side of his game training with Scotland U17s under the supervision of Cricket Scotland Coach, Craig Wright.

Over the Easter holidays the sixteen year old was invited to play for the Worcestershire Academy side at a 3 day cricket festival hosted by Shrewsbury School. The county’s Academy side is used to identify, and develop the next generation of Worcestershire players.

Against Millfield School his six over spell brought 1 wicket for 11. Rain reduced the second match to a Twenty20 match which was won by the hosts, Shrewsbury School. Promoted to open the bowling against the previous winners Worksop College in the third game he took 2 wickets for 17 off 7 overs of pacy swing bowling.

As a result of his performances Academy Head Coach, Damian D’Oliveira has invited him to return to Worcestershire for further games over the coming summer. So the Nunholm player has more future outings for their Academy side in prospect.
