THANK YOU everyone for a great weekend!

As our season comes to a close, we say goodbye to our overseas amateur Riley Bettington.

After arriving from Taranaki, New Zealand, Riley joined us in April after impressive seasons at Stratford CC back home.

During his time at Stenhousemuir, Riley racked up 560 runs in all competitions across 27 innings (2 not outs). His top score came against Dunfermline & Carnegie in the Forth Valley Cup, 96 runs (45 balls). He also took 21 wickets across the season.

We also got to welcome Riley’s family to in June. A big thank you to them for all the support they have given us this summer.

Thanks for everything you have given to our club Riley, both on and off the field. Safe travels back to New Zealand and all the best with your season back home.

THE MURRAY PEDEN TROPHY RETURNS 🏆

This Saturday, we face Dunfermline & Carnegie CC in the return of the Murray Peden Trophy - a special fixture with deep roots in our club's history.

Taking place at The Tryst on Saturday 5th September, the match honours Murray Peden, a Scottish international cricketer who represented both Stenhousemuir CC and Dunfermline CC. Murray sadly passed away in 1978 during his prime playing years, and the the Trophy was created in his memory.

The clubs annually played for the trophy from 1978 with Dunfermline winning the inaugural match. Over the years, Stenhousemuir won 9 matches, Dunfermline won 5 and 5 abandoned due to rain.

The fixture came to an end in 1196 when both clubs played in the Scottish National cricket League (SNCL), but as part of our 150th Anniversary season, we're proud to bring the fixture back.

📅 Saturday 5th September
📍 The Tryst Cricket Ground, Tryst Rd

We invite our members, former players and supporters to support the team this Saturday in a special fixture in Oor Club's history!

FINAL STANDINGS - First XI 🏆

🥉 We finish the 2026 Premiership One league season in third position, our highest finish since promotion in 2022 👏 👏

Despite our 11-run loss to Ferguslie yesterday, a very strong end to our season, defeating the Western champions at home only last weekend.

Played 16, 11 won, 5 lost. (1 game cancelled, one game abandonded)

Renfrew and Kelburne finish in the bottom two while Kilmarnock won the WDCU Premiership Two and Uddingston will join them in the Prem One next season 👏.

FINAL TABLE - Second XI 🏆

The Second XI finish their league campaign in 8th place. Despite a strong first 3 months of the season, the past few losses dropped our final place standing down to just above the relegation zone. An incredibly tight league this season.

East Kilbride and Dumfries Nunholm have been promoted ⬆️
Anniesland and Glenpark have been relegated ⬇️
