The U13s won yesterday evening at Langholm in the League Cup to go into the semi-finals ( 26th June).

Dumfries Thirteens, last night, were back on the road to Langholm – this time on cup business and again proved too strong for Langholm. The game was reduced to 16 overs per side in an effort to beat the rain. The rain did not win but the youngsters certainly got soaked!

Batting first the Dumfries innings was ultimately dominated by Max Corbett-Byers but the supporting cast was also impressive. Fergus Bainbridge dominated the opening partnership which was full of good running and good shots and Matthew McBurnie effectively put bat to ball. However Max was the star and it took a bizarre dismissal to deny him his half-century. Caught off a no-ball he half-stopped and allowed the catcher to run in and take the bails off to have him run-out!

In reply the Dumfries bowling and fielding was again of a high standard. The wickets were shared round but the highlights were Fergus Cubbon’s maiden victim and Aiden Goodin getting his wicket with a snick to first slip, both to the obvious delight of their teammates. However all the bowlers were impressive, bowling a better length than they have been.

Dumfries Thirsteens 121 for 5 M Corbett-Byers 45, M McBurnie 18*, F Bainbridge 16
Langholm U13s 49 for 5 (16 overs) B Wilson 25
Wicket each for K Anderson, F Bainbridge, J Hobman, A Goodin, F Cubbon
