Weekend Cricket
The 1s persisted to come back in the bowling innings and the batting innings on Saturday to lose to second place Ayr by 29 runs in the end. The 2s won at East Kilbride despite an late order 66no getting the home side near with an 11 run win the final result. Lachlan hit his first fifty for the 2nds. A young Sunday XI put in a good team effort but lost at Wigton.

A weekend report is here. Plus video highlights for the 1s against Ayr and the 2s against Torrance House.

This weekend the 1s play their final league fixture of the season away in Glasgow and the 2nds play their penultimate league game at home.
