Falkland beat Arbroath United by 102 runs

Falkland had another good victory on Saturday, this time over Arbroath by 102 runs. Surprisingly put in to bat by Arbroath on a fine day, Falkland reached 68 for the loss of the first wicket thanks to a good opening stand by Stuart Campbell and Steven Meikle. But the bulk of the runs was scored once again by Harsha Cooray, who is quite a run machine these days with over 900 runs and an average of over 100, and that does not include the T20 games! On Saturday, his 103 included 2 sixes and 13 fours, and Falkland's 280 always looked like a winning total.

Arbroath did not bat badly in reply. Ben O'Mara looks a good prospect with his 38, and veteran Murray Clark's 49 not out showed that there is life in the old dog yet, but Falkland's steady bowling and tidy fielding saw them through. The pick of the bowlers was Steven Meikle with 3 for 18 in his 9 Overs. The victory was never in doubt,and with only 5 games left, Falkland remain undefeated in the Strathmore Union.
