Let's make this a summer of opportunity, participation, and positive experiences for young people across Stirling.

Huge well done to Strathblane Lawn Tennis Club on their recent Club Development Award. During the summer term, the club worked in partnership with the local primary school to delivery sessions to pupils all the way from Primary 2 through to 7 (totaling over 120 pupils). Following this, the club hosted a 'Big Tennis Weekend' to enable pupils and their families to visit and try their new skills on the court!

Amazing achievement for the walking cricket team of Doune & Dunblane Cricket playing their first ever fixture last week. Just under a year since the group formed as one of the first of its kind in the country. Well done for their efforts and spirit which has seen them grow and now thriving with every ball bowled. Here is to the first of hopefully many games to come!

A brilliant variation of the sport for all ages and abilities, with so much fun to be had which you can tell from the match report below. If you want to get involved they play every Friday currently in Doune and then over winter indoors at Dunblane. Contact the club for more details.

History was likely made this week as our walking cricketers took on Stirling Bowling Club in what is believed to be the very first inter-club walking cricket match ever held in Scotland!

For the uninitiated, walking cricket delivers all the tactics and drama of the traditional game, just with a strict "no running" rule, making it highly accessible, strategic, and incredibly fun.

The First Innings:
Stirling Bowls Club won the toss and chose to bat first. After a solid, composed start from their openers, the DDC bowlers started turning up the heat. A couple of DDC bowlers put on a masterclass, picking up two wickets each, including a rare and impressive "double-wicket maiden" (an over where two wickets are taken and zero runs are scored).

Despite the tough bowling, SBC steadied the ship to finish their innings with a respectable score of 60 runs. Their top batsman led the charge with a solid 18 runs.

The Second Innings:
DDC’s turn at the crease started a bit rocky, with early batters losing their wickets a few times. However, they quickly made up for it with some explosive hitting, including multiple 4s and 6s.

The middle order brought a mix of styles to the pitch, some batting with elegant, textbook style, while others took a more "agricultural" (unorthodox and hard-hitting) approach.

DDC's final batting pair comfortably brought the victory home. DDCC finished on 77 runs, with our top scorer knocking out a brilliant 22 runs.

While Doune & Dunblane Cricket Club took the win this time, the real winner was the fantastic, sporting spirit shared by both teams.

The friendly rivalry isn't over yet. Next Tuesday, DDC will head over to Stirling Bowls Club's home turf for the highly anticipated return leg on the bowling green!

Delighted to present our most recent Club Development Award to Stirling Wolves Petanque Club!

Following the installation of their incredible new pistes earlier this year. The club are now preparing to host the home nations competition on the weekend of August 8th/9th that will draw over 100 of the best players from across Great Britain & Jersey.

Not stopping there, this grant will support the club to purchase junior boules as they look to expand their club to include a new youth section.

Huge well done to all at the club on all of their endeavours and achievements.
