A cup Semi final Victory was the highlight of another busy weekend

Saturday dawned wet and miserable and any cricket at all looked unlikely .
An early pitch inspection showed that pitch one had taken the brunt of the rain and was unplayable . But with tje forecast improving and pitches 2 and 3 looking less the worse for the weather it was decided to give the second and third eleven games a chance .
Well done to our opponents for being willing to give it a go
The twos batted first against Glenrothes 3s and After Hogg was out early a good partnership between Rob Highfield and Saha Got the board ticking over Unfortunately After they were out The batting problems kicked in again and we were all out foe 105.
They then came up with one of the best bowling performances of the season and bowled Glens out for 69 with the wickets being shared roun including two for skipper Adil to give him a great send off in his final game for a while'
The threes meanwhile lost to Leith 2s Batting first Leith put on over 180 and Morton never looked likely to get close . Most encouraging feature was the continued promise shown by our two young guns Ram And Aiden .
On Sunday it was Small Clubs Cup action with Bon Accord from Aberdeen the visitors
Bons batted first and were soon in trouble as a fine bowling display ripped through them for 80.
Needless to say we did not make it easy as the excellent Bons attack went to work but at 50 for 3 we looked OK , then the wickets started to tumble . In a thrilling finish our number 10 and 11 bats were at the crease as the final 2 runs were scored to give us victory
The final will be against Tranent on July 26 at a venue to be decided
