Also on Sunday, Dumfries U15s faced a strong Clydesdale side in the ECB U15 Vitality T20 Cup and after ten overs Clydesdale were on 71 for 1. Thereafter the local side worked hard to keep the runs down and succeeded in taking a further six wickets as the visitors totalled 146 for 7 with Kumar hitting a fifty. Billy Morgan and Haqmal Noori took two wickets, Jasmine McCulloch took the first wicket and Danny Allsop and Yazdan Ovais each claimed a run out.

Faced with a challenging target the youngsters were then also faced with the fastest bowling of the weekend for both senior and junior players. The balls which were full, straight, and distinctly rapid proved too much as Shinwari proceeded to take 6 for 10 as Dumfries reached 52 for 8 after ten overs. Billy Morgan was joined by Danny Allsop and after coping with a blow to the leg the latter managed 14 not out. A bowling change helped, and the side were all out for 87 after 19 overs. Morgan top scored with 26 in what was a battling performance by the Dumfries team.
