Falkland Progress in Village Cup

Meigle 120 all out
(C Clark 25, T Duff 22, B Strachan 4 for 9, A Hamilton 3 for 18)

Falkland 121 for 4
(G Doig 38, B Strachan 37 not out, G Watson 31)

Falkland Won by 6 Wkts.

Little goes wrong for Falkland these days! A great weekend was completed with an emphatic win over Meigle at Victory Park on Sunday. The weather was glorious once again, the hospitality of the Meigle people could not be faulted and Falkland treated their large travelling support to a great win.

Meigle won the toss and batted, reaching 120 which would have been a great deal less but for several dropped catches, something that had not really been a characteristic of the team so far this season. What was more typical was the loss of 12 Wides and 2 No Balls, something that, if not addressed, may yet prove costly to the side. But Ben Strachan bowled brilliantly with his 4 for 9 and he was ably backed up Alan Hamilton's 3 for 18 and Scott Meikle's 2 for 21.

In reply, Falkland started slowly and carefully, but after the departure of the openers to rash shots, Graeme Watson, Grant Doig and Ben Strachan saw Falkland home with more than 10 Overs to spare.

Falkland now play Freuchie in a couple of weeks time on June 10, a fixture that should attract a large crowd and a certain amount of local rivalry, one imagines.
