Hockey: Captain’s report for 2009/10

28 05 2010

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 »

28 05 2010

Dumfries B Gents gained their first victory of the season with a hard fought 4-0 result against Beechgrove (Moffat).

In the other match Castle Douglas and Dumfries A contested an exciting match with nine long sets being played out before Dumfries A gained the upper hand to seal a 2-1 victory.

The match finished 2-2 with Castle Douglas winning overall, having won more sets over the four matches.

In the other match, Dumfries A gained a much needed victory over Dumfries B with the final score being 3-1.

APD Dumfries remained the only unbeaten side in National League Division 2 with a four wicket win over Freuchie at Nunholm on Saturday. Eighteen year old opener Tom McBride steered his side to victory with a score of 102 not out chasing the Freuchie total of 214 for 9. Josh Geary provided the necessary support with 56 and also took three wickets as did Jerry Goodin.

Dumfries decided to let Freuchie bat first and when the openers, Birrell (RT) and Birrell (SJ) eased past fifty in the 15th over that decision looked doubtful. However Patterson and Beveridge bowled five overs conceding just one run and then the introduction of the fifth bowler tried, Geary, immediately brought a result with keeper Corbett-Byers taking a catch in his first over to make it 62 for one with the innings nearing the half-way point.

Likewise leg-spinner Jerry Goodin came on at the other end and the pair proceeded to remove the top five. Goodin took three wickets and Geary trapped RT Birrell lbw for 35. Read the rest of this entry »
