Sunday 6th September
Grange 168 for 9 (T. Heathcote 52no, C. Conwell 28no, E Duboulay 27)
Comrie 144 all out (G Radford 3 for 25, B Kaczynski 3 for 15)
A fine afternoons cricket saw a mixed Grange team take on Comrie who enlisted a certain C. Coles desperate for a match.
Batting first, Heathcote continued his fine form with a masterclass in quick singles and run counting. Ably backed up by the fine hitting of Conwell and Duboulay we made it to 168 on a slow turning wicket. The find of the day was Gabriel’s fine spell of left-arm swing bowling taking a wicket with his first ball and ousting the prize wicket of Coles twice (dropped the previous ball). Kaczynski turned to his slow off-breaks with excellent effect. Well done, everyone – a spirited fun and enjoyable game!

Match Round Up 29th August |

Saturday 29th August
Grange 1st XI beat Greaves Clydesdale 1st XI by 3 wickets
Titwood Greaves Clydesdale 138-5 (28 overs, SJ Chalmers 3-26)
Grange 139-7 (27.5 overs), match reduced to 28 overs a side Link to scorecard Good game in the end, nearly cocked it up, but Moffat and then Davidson pulled it out of the bag at the end, mighty hitting.All in vain though as Aberdeenshire kept up their form to finish league champions. Grange 2nd XI v Stirling County 2nd XI by 65 runs
Stirling County
Grange 162 all out - Hearn 33, Rae 25, Leckie 25
Stirling Co 97 for 8 (bad light after 37 overs) - B Powell 3 for 16, Rankin 3 for 23
The captain neglected to tell his arithmetically-challenged team that 2 points were needed to ensure the Division 2 title ; the focus had to be on victory to remain undefeated and take our place in Grange legend. Reduced to 45 overs, our innings stuttered through further rain breaks and an early tea. No one really got in. 127 for 4 was a recovery from 46 for 3 but good catches and loose shots meant we lost all 10 wickets for only the third time all season. What should have been 200 was only 162 and with three hung-over bowlers, after Scotland v Australia, was it enough ? After 10 overs they were 29 for 1. But Chris Rankin took 2 for 0 in his first three overs and helped by Blaine Powell who took two wickets in two balls, that became 56 for 6. After 27 overs it became a legitimate game ; although 30 runs behind the run rate, could a few lusty blows deprive us in the gathering gloom ? No, and in a bizarre twist they came off for bad light at 8,25pm, knowing this meant they would lose the game. A sensible if anti-climactic end to season 2009 meant we were undefeated champions of Division 2.
Season Epilogue : this final eleven, plus Kaz and Ed, were the 2009 stalwarts yet only four of us had been Grange members a year before. Like all great clubs, we had survived and moved on and an athletic team of youngish all-rounders had been forged and had triumphed. I am immensely proud of all of them and it has been a privilege to be their captain.
Robin PollokTheMighty3s ™ lost to Kismet by 77 runs Kismet 270 for 9 (Nick Peet 4 for 26; Krishna Agasthyaraju 3 for 46)
Grange 193 all out (Brian Kaczynski 83)
A strong and experienced 3s batting line up should have been able to chase down a decent target of 271 on an excellent Grange batting wicket. Unfortunately only half fit 2s refugee Kaczynski was able to do himself justice with a battling 83 as his team mates collapsed around him; Cameron Conwell and Krishna Agasthyaraju also contributed in the middle and lower order but, with only one man making more than thirty, we never really looked like reaching our target.
It was a disappointing end to what has been an enjoyable season for all involved with TheMighty3s. Mixed in with the traditional comedy of errors that is 3rd XI cricket there has been some good cricket played; Nash Muhammad was always entertaining with the bat and had the highest average of all our regulars; Grant Docherty wore colourful blazers and chirped incessantly from behind he stumps but I fear we may never hear the end of Nick Peet’s batting average of 233 for the season!
Particularly pleasing were the performances and enthusiasm of junior players such as William Edwards and George Hairs. William opened the bowling most weeks and showed that he can score runs quickly and in some style when not asked to bat above number 8 or 9. George only turned out on a few occasions but showed plenty of talent with both bat and ball and will surely play a bigger role over the next couple of seasons. |
