Falkland disappointed yet again at Forthill on Saturday before a strong Forfarshire team, but at least it was a good day for cricket, one of the very few that we have had this year!

Forfarshire won the toss and decided to bat. Falkland bowled and fielded well to restrict the Dundee men to 218 with Alan Hamilton performing brilliantly for his 3 for 29, although credit must also be given to Ryan Hepburn for his economy as he conceded only 25 in his 10 Overs. There was also a brilliant catch behind the wicket by Thomas Brunton to dispose of one of the openers.

Falkland got off to a reasonable start and were in with a definite chance when Harsha Cooray and Aaron Paul were in together, but Aaron was given out caught behind with the score on 64, and the rest of the batsmen failed to give Harsha enough support and the team collapsed to 140 all out.

Watsonians come to Falkland on Saturday with Falkland still looking for their first League win as the season approaches the halfway mark.
