Dumfries Cricket Club – Final League Results
Written by Kevin Rennie on September 4, 2013
In a tense finish on Saturday APD Dumfries lost their last Western Premier League match of the season by just two wickets at Uddingston. That result meant that Uddingston became league champions ahead of Clydesdale, and only on run rate, and took the title from holders Dumfries who finished in third spot.
APD Dumfries scored 209 for 7 batting first with runs from Todd Griffiths with 41, skipper Scott Beveridge with 38 not out and the top score of 42 from Tom McBride just returned to the side.
Uddingston reached their winning target in the closing overs but only for the loss of eight wickets. Scotland player Calum MacLeod was the main run scorer, hitting ninety, but Chris McCutcheon and Peter Lojszczyk made it a nail-biting end to the season for the top placed side with four and three wickets respectively.

Meanwhile in their last league game in the Western Premier Reserve League, Eco-Genics Nunholm demolished Uddingston 2nds, Bothwell, in a 147 run win at home. Nunholm were all out for 190 with Andy Reed the top scorer with 36, adding to runs from Jerry Goodin, Robert McBride and Todd Rafferty.
However Bothwell were then bowled out for just 43. Two run-outs helped but Goodin took three wickets and Stuart Alexander and Chris Brockwell took two each. That win meant that the Nunholm side finished in fourth place in their Reserve League.
