In Western Championship 2, leaders Dumfries 2nd XI, Nunholm, were defeated by three wickets in a close game at third placed GHK Strathclyde to slip to second place.

In a low scoring encounter Scott Beveridge and junior player Billy Morgan were equal top scorers with 23 as Nunholm reached 130 for 7. With not quite enough runs to play with, Nunholm still took seven wickets before their total was overtaken. Wahid Jabarkhil and Harith Hassan each took two wickets. Nunholm play current leaders Hillhead 2nds on Saturday at home in a match that should determine the final league winners.
