Dumfries Cricket Club – Results from Saturday 24th August
Written by Kevin Rennie on August 25, 2013
In the Western Premier League on Saturday it was a case of ball over bat at Nunholm as APD Dumfries beat West of Scotland to move past them into third spot.
Dumfries could only muster a score of 73 on a day when the bowlers found plenty of swing combined with movement off the seam.
However that proved enough, just, when after Niall Alexander took two early wickets, in-swing bowler Alan Davidson replaced him and aptly swung the match with the bowling figures of the season by taking seven West of Scotland wickets for just nine runs in six devastating overs for a remarkable six run victory.
Nevertheless it was an even closer win for Eco-Genics Nunholm at West of Scotland 2nds, Partick, at Hamilton Crescent in the CSL Premier Reserve League. With runs also at a premium Nunholm scored 114 all out with Chris Brockwell top scoring with 24. Then spinner Jerry Goodin took four wickets and Stuart Alexander and Brockwell two each with the winning catch taken off Brockwell to complete a four run win.
