Dumfries went down in a tightly fought match against Stainton away on a small village ground which was favourable to a boat load of boundaries. Both teams dispatched 4’s and 6’s across the park with 17 6’s and 51 4’s hit by both teams.

62 extras proved the Sunday team's undoing with 30 wides and 26 byes. Stainton got the total in 32.4 overs. Andy hit 29 in his debut match and Abdullah also impressed with his bowling on debut and Peter had a sharp stumping off the bowling of Adam.
