Village Cup at Falkland on Sunday

Rain was the winner on Sunday at Scroggie Park, although the players and the Umpires all tried hard to get a result for the large crowd that gathered in spite of the inclement weather which was against play from the start. The game only started at 2.20 pm after a long delay.

Falkland won the toss and chose to bat and when the rain came on a couple of hours later were 117 for 4 after 33 Overs. The lengthy rain break did Falkland no favours and they closed at 138 for 9 when the 40 Overs were at last completed at 6.40 pm. Brock Ditchmen top scored with 36 and both Steven Meikle and Adam Ferguson has respectable scores of 18 and 22. Sessay, last year's winner of the Village Trophy, bowled and fielded well, although they conceded a surprising amount of 18 Wides.

In reply, Sessay only received 11 Overs before the rains came on. They were 47 for 1 and looking good, but had not received enough Overs to constitute a match, and the game was abandoned.
