The Sunday Dev XI had a five wicket win in the final over against Langholm at Nunholm.

Langholm 2nd XI, 171 for 6, lost to Croma Vigilant Dumfries Sunday XI, 172 for 5

The Dumfries Sunday XI won the battle of The Dumfries and Galloway sides in the Eden Valley Sunday league at the weekend. Another fifty (53 retired) for Adam Malik and 36 not out from Jacob Taylor saw Dumfries home after a lacklustre fielding performance in the first innings.

Langholm were on the attack early with plenty of lusty blows which had the bowling attack in trouble in the early overs. It took a good catch from Tony Reed in the deep to get things going for Dumfries. A combination of good batting and poor fielding saw Langholm set a competitive total of 171 in 36 overs. Donaldson scored 50 not out and Park hit 48. Sean Thornely took 2 wickets again to take his tally to 14 on a Sunday and Aiden Goodin also took 2 to add to his 5 wickets in the previous encounter.

In reply, the Lochfoot Medical Player of the Match, Adam Malik, got his customary fifty retired and Jacob Taylor then guided the side home, but only in the final over, with a match-winning 36 not out. There were also good batting performances from Mat Williams (23) and Max Corbett-Byers (16). Sunday’s victory now has Dumfries sitting in 3rd place behind Stainton and Appleby.

Langholm 2nd XI 171/6 (39 overs)
B Donaldson 50 retd, G Park 48;
Sean Thornely 2/25, Aiden Goodin 2/37,
Dumfries Sunday Dev XI 172/5 (35.1 overs)
