Events on Saturday mean that both the Dumfries 1st and 2nd teams, Vigilant Dumfries and Nunholm, now sit top of their respective Western league tables.

In Western Championship 2, Dumfries 2nd XI, Nunholm, played league leaders East Kilbride 2nds at home and a third Dumfries player this season fell short of a century in the nineties. This time it was opener Patrick Obank who hit 94 in a Nunholm total of 234 for 5 in the 40 overs. He shared a fruitful ninety-run third-wicket partnership with 16-year-old Cory Dawson who also went to his maiden fifty for Nunholm with a run-a-ball innings of 67. Keeper Bill Middlemiss helped the side reach a competitive total with 26 not out.

Opening bowler Finley Trigg took a wicket in the first over and Sultan Kamran took two in the fourth to set the visitors back. Finley, Sultan and Ross Lamb each took two wickets and, despite a swashbuckling innings of 58 from batsman number eight Chaudhary, East Kilbride were finally dismissed for 199 all out. Cory Dawson took his second wicket to finish the game and earn the Crichton Partners Player of the Match Award.

NB: In Western Premiership 2, the Vigilant Dumfries away fixture at East Kilbride was cancelled due to wet ground conditions and then defeats elsewhere in the league meant Dumfries moved from second to the top of the league by Saturday evening.
