Unbeaten Run Continues

Mannofield (10) : 205 all out in 42.5 overs.
(J. Musgrave 62, J. Haddon 40, H. Cooray 3 for 32, S. Meikle 3 for 39)

Falkland beat Mannofield by 2 wkts

Mannofield won the toss and decided to bat first. The home side steadily built their innings helped along by 62 runs from 69 balls by Musgrave. Haddon also added to the total with 40 runs from 44 balls. However, Mannofield were unable to bat out their allotted 45 overs and were all out for 205 from 42.5 overs. Falkland didn't help their cause by giving away 7 no balls and 9 wides but Harsha Cooray had bowling figures of 3 for 32 from 9 overs and Steven Meikle 3 for 39 from 5 overs.

In reply Falkland lost Captain Stuart Campbell early on, but Cameron Nellies who opened the batting with his Captain went on to score a solid 41 from 46 balls to get the run chase in motion. Falkland then started to lose wickets mainly to the bowling of Jamieson, but Harsha Cooray held firm throughout and with good support from Alan Hamilton and latterly Calum Watson, Harsha saw Falkland home to a 2 wicket win. Harsha finished on 81 not out from 87 balls. Mannofield's Jamieson returned bowling figures of 4 for 24 from 4.5 overs.
