On Saturday 24th July the unbeaten 2nd XI traveled to Inverleith Park to face OCCC. Winning the toss captain Andrew Graham elected to field first. This decision turned out to be a good one as opening bowlers Gary Kellet and Ramesh Duvvuri both picked up 2 wickets before 20 runs were on the board. Alan Williamson came into the attack and despite being hit for 8 off his first over he went on to take 5 wickets, annihilating the OCCC tail. Williamson went on to take 5-16 off his 8 overs and with Rory Thomson bowling very well at the other end after 32 overs OCCC were 51-9. Callum Herd and Andrew Graham came on to bowl the last few overs between them and with Callum picking up the final wicket of the innings for only 68 runs.
Linlithgow went out to bat with the mentality of swing hard and get the game done which payed off with top 3 batsmen Kevin Stump, Andy Raven and Will Nettleton all scoring some quick fire runs before getting out. Andy Raven top scoring with 30. Chris Whitton came and went for 2 which left Alex ‘Brrrrr’ Whitmarsh and Ramesh Duvvuri needing 5 to win. The target of 69 was reached after only 9.5 overs securing a very comfortable 6 wicket victory for the table toppers.
This weekend The unbeaten 2’s welcome MDAFs to the BCG hoping to extend their good run of victories.
