3 wicket defeat at Stirling

Morton won the toss and elected to bat. Skipper Andy Jones and Andy Morrison Put on 28 for the first wicket before Andy Mo got out' bowled, by the younger Cordiner. Jonesy was joined by Matt Lankashire and runs continued to come at a good rate and with 90 for 1 on the board at the half way stage 200 lookwed quite possible. The turning point of the innings came when Matt Lanc was brilliently Caught and Bowled By Chris Morton. After that Morton found it hard to get the Stirling slow bowlers away on a true but slow track. However confidence was still high that the final total of 153 would be enough.
Morton opened the bowling with the reliable partnership of Lankashire and Kinghorn who kept things tight through the opening overs. But Grant Cordiner kept going and didn't panic and with good support from The impressive Chris Morton and Skipper Sandy Watt they got to the target wit 3 overs and 3 wickets to spare.
