Also in the news this week, well done to Irfan Shah for being selected to the WDCU Select that played warm-up games against some of the international teams that are in Scotland for the 20/20 World Cup Qualifiers.

On the field, there were mixed fortunes for the Weirs teams in midweek cricket. In the Evening League the midweek 1st XI had a fine 30-run win against Renfrew. But the 2nd XI lost by 7 wickets to Clydesdale Cavaliers. On Thursday, Weirs lost out by 61 runs to Poloc in their first group match in the Greenwood Cup. A fine innings of 93 not out by Sreekumar was the decisive contribution in that game.
