The 1st team, Vigilant Dumfries, started with an impressive performance back in Western Premiership One with an 8-wicket win at Kelburne. That performance was led by the side's 15-year-old twin brothers, Nairn and Munro Cubbon. Both opened the bowling for Dumfries and the two Scotland Under-17 pace bowlers proceeded to take the first six wickets with Nairn taking four, for the Dumfries Doggy Day Care Player of the Match, and Munro two to leave Kelburne at 36 for 5 at one point. Mann took a further three wickets for Kelburne to reach 90 all out. Dumfries passed that for the loss of two wickets with an opening partnership of fifty between Chris Bellwood and Alan Davidson setting up the chase.

Dumfries 2nd team, Nunholm, fought back in both innings to register a 54-run win over visitors Renfrew 2nd XI in Western Championship 2. Skipper Drew Dawson led his side to a total of 221 for 6 with his score of 89, for the DG Project Solutions Man of the Match, aided by Max Corbett-Byers with 38 not out. Then after a fast Renfrew start, Ross Lamb managed to peg the visitors back with 3 wickets and then Sultan Kamran with a further 4, and Finley Trigg with a couple, finished the task.

Kamran also starred the next day in a tense last over one wicket win for Dumfries in the Eden Valley Sunday League. He hit 72 not out and he and Adam Malik, with a masterly innings of 80 not out, got their side to victory chasing Lanercost's 204 for 4, and shared the Player of the Match award from Muirhead Electrical.

Dumfries U13s also won their first league match at Carlisle on Friday by 7 wickets. Dashiel Trigg’s two early run-outs were key and Danny Allsop scored 31 not out to chase 86 for 7, and the several U11s who were making their debuts enjoyed their game against visitors Temple Sowerby who ran out the victors.

On Saturday, the 1st team, Vigilant Dumfries, is at home against Stenhousemuir in Western Premiership One and the second team, Nunholm, is away at Stenhousemuir 2nds in Western Championship Two. On Sunday, Dumfries play Stoneywood-Dyce at home in the Scottish Cup.
