Narrow defeat in West League Cup opener [posted 16/05/12]

WDCU_logo

The 'Loc's West League Cup campaign got underway tonight in the damp, dark and cold conditions that were Shawholm!  On another bitterly chilly night that saw spectators inside not out, and coffees sold not cold drinks, the game saw Clydesdale pay a visit from deepest, darkest Crossmyloof.  Batting first the visitors were restricted to 95 for 9, with Euan Sheridan taking a "3-for", but this proved 11 runs more than the 'Loc could muster in reply as Zeeshan Bashir ("4-for") combined with Majid Haq to choke the supply of runs.  

Carly top-scored with 22, as - like Clydesdale - the batters found spin difficult to get away on the slow, low, wicket.  The scorecard's online, as are updated stat's and a match report.

The club's inaugural Evening League campaign got off to a winning start this evening at Shawholm with an eventually comfortable win over the Dark Side's Cavaliers.  Batting first the Panthers posted 96 for 8 in their twenty-over allotment, before bowling out the boys from the Death Star for 60.  The scorecard's online, as are updated stat's and a match report.

 

Panthers debut in the Sunday League [posted 29/04/12]

WDCU_logo

The Panthers - the club's Sunday and Evening League side - made the entrance in the former today.  On the basis that "it can only get better", the side's season opener was Victoria away at Springburn Park!  In the cold.  The very cold.  On the plus side it looked like the grass had been cut this year, and only one Police van drove round during play.  Mind you, the game lasted so short a time, maybe HM Constabulary came round again but the guys had gone home!  The summary of events is that the Panthers lost by nine wickets.  But as ever there's more to it than that!  The scorecard's online, as are updated stat's and a match report.
