Comrie Cricket Club

13/09/2026

A lovely September day greeted the visit of a strong XL club to the Laggan Park today. Although dry on the day, the recent rain had definitely softened the playing surface, not giving much aid to the bowlers and suiting the strong visiting batting line up well. Wickets were hard to come by and our opponents made 222-4 from their 35 overs. Congrats to Lewis Foster (1-44 from 7 overs) for his first wicket for Comrie with a caught and bowled in his first over. The pick of the bowlers was a returning Andy Dowse with 2-44 from 7. In response, two debutants Andrew Collinston and Lewis Foster opened the batting against some tricky slower bowling going on to make 16 and 13 respectively. Alec Beale top scored with 29 before being stumped, Andy Dowse scoring 28 before holing out to long on. Special mention to debutants Shay Crorkin scoring 25 on his return to the sport after a few years away and Tom Dowse carrying his bat for 1 n.o. In his first ever game of hardball cricket. We ended on 151-7 after 35 overs, losing by 71 runs in the end. Fingers crossed for a repeat of the weather for our last game of the season next Sunday.

Comrie CC claimed their third victory of the season yesterday at Laggan Park, beating Perth D’Cott 3rds by nine wickets on a day for the bowlers. A green top wicket helped Comrie take 10 wickets after winning the toss with great performances right through the bowling attack. Alec Beale kicked things off with a double wicket maiden in the first over, taking a caught and bowled second ball and a wicket bowled two balls later. Two overs later, Cameron Harrison (1-8 off 4!) took the third wicket bowled to leave the visitors reeling at 7-3. Next over, Alec took his third wicket thanks to a sharp diving catch from Johnny Carpenter in the covers, after a 4th wicket partnership of 29 steadied the batting sides ship a little, however Perth’s top four being removed for just 5 runs off the bat between them put Comrie in the driving seat.
Wickets from Hector Lothian (1-26 off 4), Hamish Graham (2-19 off 4) and Dave Dowse (2-0 off 2!) were rounded off by a final wicket from the skipper (4-17 off 5.3) to leave a getable 112 for the batting innings and stand out Perth batsman (and former Comrie CC player) Colin Jennings stranded on 27 not out.
Thing started slowly but steadily in the chase before A Beale was caught for 7 driving at a lifting delivery bringing Rob Kinder to join Johnny C at the crease. Both players showed their patience and quality, waiting for and punishing the bad balls. Rob eventually retired on 53 bringing Andy Rogerson into bat at the dizzying position of number 4. Having done the damage earlier in the game, a run rate of 3 an over allowed the batsman to take their time, Johnny C battering their spinner for two boundaries in the final over and winning the game with 10 overs to spare. A great performance all round.
Next SATURDAY, sees us playing the annual Charlie Gibbons memorial tournament at the Laggan. Play starts at 11am with the juniors meeting in their own mini-tournament beforehand (9-11). Pizza and drinks available all day with a bouncy castle for the kids, all welcome.
