Weekend Match Report 🏏

Unfortunately, the weather had the final say on Saturday, with our senior side's fixture falling victim to the rain, leaving just one game to be played over the weekend as our Development XI welcomed Dornoch to The Meeting Park. Thankfully, conditions improved significantly on Sunday, allowing play to go ahead.

Northern Counties batted first with openers Matt and Rory providing a solid foundation with a promising opening partnership, but unfortunately the innings failed to build on that start. Regular wickets saw the hosts slip from a strong position, eventually being dismissed for 109.

Defending a modest total was always going to be a tough task, but Counties showed plenty of fight with a constant stream of wickets that briefly threatened to make a game of it. Despite the bowlers' efforts, Dornoch held their nerve and reached the target with six overs to spare.

A disappointing result, but there were still positives to take from the weekend, and the squad will be looking to bounce back in the next round of fixtures. 🏏
