A youthful attack had Nairn Cubbon and Cory Dawson taking the first two wickets followed by three wickets to the spin of Harith Hassan. Dave Lightfoot chipped in with two wickets and provided the Nith Valley Cleaning highlight of the day with two sharp catches at silly mid-off. Juniors Lachlan Osmond and Bill Middlemiss gained some more experience with a useful bowling spell and a debut behind the stumps respectively as Appleby reached 145 for 9 after their 36 overs.
