Cricket: APD Dumfries lose out in initial Cup match

25 04 2013

20140420 733 Ferguslie x640On Saturday APD Dumfries lost their opening Scottish Cup group game by 38 runs against Ferguslie at Nunholm.

The visitors set a difficult total of 239 for 9 thanks to two fine innings from their Scotland U19 batsman Michael English, with an unbeaten century, and 71 from their Zimbabyan professional Kevin Dabengwa.

Amongst the Dumfries bowlers Alan Davidson finished with 3 wickets, Beveridge two, and Chris McCutcheon produced a valuable spell for just one wicket.

In reply Dumfries were always behind the run rate as the Ferguslie openers bowled tightly. Chris Bellwood batted well for 30 to get the side past the hundred but the side then lost wickets, ultimately losing five to young spinner Tahir.

Scott Beveridge, the John Walker and Son Dumfries Man of the Match, added some late innings hitting with 56 runs, along with Peter Lojszczyk. However he was caught attempting one more six with Dumfries all out and short of their target on 201 with just over two overs left.

With five more group games APD Dumfries play their next Scottish Cup match against Falkland at Nunholm on Saturday. The Nunholm 2nd XI play away at Galloway in the Western Cup.

During last week Tom McBride registered two scores in the thirties for Scottish Students in their three match tour against English Universities and Kirsty Strachan and Rosy Ryan turned out for a Scotland Womens XI in their win against Scottish Students in Edinburgh.

Ferguslie reached 167 with two wickets apiece for Druce, Lojszczyk and Brockwell. Dumfries passed that for eight wickets with fifty from Chris Bellwood and sixty not out by skipper Scott Beveridge.

Ferguslie passed fifty for one down but Beveridge then executed an outstanding run-out and Niall Alexander removed English for 31.

Stafford proved the top scorer (53) and became the ninth wicket to fall. Beveridge removed the Zimbabwean professional Dabengwa and at 134 for 5 with ten overs left, Chris Brockwell bowled well in the power play taking two wickets. Newly arrived from Australian, opening bowler Peter Lojszczyk completed a good outing in unfamiliar conditions to take two wickets as Ferguslie ended 167 all out.

Chris Bellwood dominated the scoring in the Dumfries innings, at one point hitting six boundaries in not many more balls. However when he was stumped for 50 it was 105 for 5 and it required Beveridge to see the side home with 60 not out as three more wickets fell.

Skipper Beveridge commented “we were a bit rusty with catches dropped and wickets given away but everyone bowled well and we should be ready to take Ferguslie on again in the Scottish Cup at Nunholm this Saturday”. The Carlisle Refrigeration Dumfries Man of the Match on the day was Chris Bellwood for his all-round contribution. Also on Saturday the Nunholm seconds are at Meikleriggs in the Western Cup.

Dumfries Cricket Club’s Niall Alexander is jetting out with Scotland U19s this week for a fortnight’s training camp in Sri Lanka.

The quick bowler, who played for Scotland U17s last season, is selected in the U19 squad for their tour which will involve playing six matches in and around Colombo and well as the chance for warm weather pre-season training.

The Scotland squad’s coach Craig Wright says that this is “a valuable learning opportunity for Niall” and also provides the opportunity to continue the technical aspects worked on during the winter indoor training sessions.

Niall himself is looking forward to the trip – “it should be a great experience for me and a big opportunity”.

Cricket: Dumfries Women Runners-up in Glasgow

5 03 2013
Dumfries Women - runners-up at Glasgow

Dumfries Women – runners-up at Glasgow

Dumfries Cricket Club’s Women’s team were finalists again on Sunday at the Cricket Scotland Women’s Indoor Sixes Tournament in Glasgow. However this time they lost out to Edinburgh University in a high scoring match to finish runners-up.

A big entry with nine teams from around Scotland meant some frenetic Twenty20 cricket, here just twenty ball innings. In their group games Dumfries beat St Andrews University and Edinburgh Ladies to draw Stirling County in the semi-finals.

Stirling batted first and a crucial reaction catch by Sue McBride off Sue Jeffrey removed Scotland keeper Jack to help restrict the opposition to 24. However two wickets meant that skipper Sue Strachan had to find eight runs off the last four balls – reached with one ball left.

That meant another tussle with Edinburgh University. This time the University got off to a flyer rapidly passing thirty with some early boundaries. Rosy Ryan put the brakes on conceding just three runs but despite a run out by Kirsty Strachan the last two balls went for six and four for an imposing total of 52/1.

That gave the batters too much to do and lacking a similar number of boundaries the side finished eight runs short on 44/1 with Rachel Howard and Rosy Ryan not out and Kirsty Strachan top scorer. The Parkdale Garage Dumfries Player of the Tournament went to Rosy Ryan for her bowling performance.
