Falkland 2 made it two wins in two weeks with a composed, professional performance away at St Modans, chasing 131 with ease to seal a seven‑wicket victory. It was another outing where the bowling unit set the tone early, the batting showed maturity, and the group looked far more like the confident side they know they can be.

Having won the toss and chosen to bowl, Falkland struck immediately. Owen Cutler removed Jham in the opening spell, and Mohammad Hussain followed by dismissing Madathil to leave St Modans 15-2. The pressure continued to build as Ryan Hepburn delivered one of his best spells of the season, taking 4 for 29 from 9 overs, repeatedly hitting a nagging length that St Modans struggled to handle.

The hosts never found momentum. Burton’s three wickets - including the dangerous Nith for 39 - ensured any flicker of resistance was quickly extinguished. A late collapse saw St Modans lose their final four wickets for just 27 runs, finishing on 131 all out in 31.5 overs, with Falkland’s bowlers and fielders maintaining control throughout.

Chasing a modest target, Falkland approached the innings with calm assurance. Callum May started brightly with 16, and although two early wickets fell, Geordie Gallagher anchored the chase superbly. His 47 not out from 80 balls was exactly what the situation required - patient, organised, and unflustered.

He was supported by Stuart Campbell, who added a fluent 21, before Craig Hepburn finished the job in style with a lively 14 not out from 9 balls, including a six to push Falkland over the line. With 33 extras helping the total along, Falkland reached 134 for 3 in just 24.3 overs, sealing a comfortable win.

After a difficult run earlier in the month, the 2s have now produced back‑to‑back strong performances, built on disciplined bowling, sensible batting, and a clear sense of confidence returning to the group. This was a controlled, deserved victory - and another step in the right direction.
