Falkland beat Stoneywood Dyce by 8 wkts

Falkland won the Strathmore Union at the first time of asking in a rather easy victory over second placed Stoneywood-Dyce at Scroggie Park on Saturday.

Put in to bat in difficult conditions, Stoneywood-Dyce struggled to 123 all out. Andy McLaren deserves credit for carrying his bat for 42 not out, and Jamie King hit a cameo 44, but the others subsided tamely to some accurate Falkland bowling with Ben Strachan the pick with 4 for 17.

In reply, Cameron Nellies played probably his best innings for the club with a very entertaining 77 not out which included some spectacular hitting, and Stuart Campbell hit 26. But it was a team effort, and Falkland are due hearty congratulations for their efforts season. They are worthy champions of the Strathmore and Perthshire Cricket Union.
