MDAFS travelled to East Kilbride for the Lloyds TSB Scotland Trophy match. Unfortunantly we were totally pants (which is probably an injustice to lingerie). We lost by 9 wickets defending only 118 which was awful given a solid, if cautious start, against some lively opening bowling. Veteran DAFS openers Ian Shiels scoring 38 and Paul Hubbard 23 respectively as they set a foundation of 65 runs off 22 overs for the first wicket. However the innings simply collapsed away appallingly, with the last 9 wickets falling for a woeful 53 runs as, what looked on paper at least, a strong middle order again failed badly. Nadeem was the only other batsman to hit double figures with 16. Saffa paceman R Vardy took 4-17 and veteran A Meikle 3-16 off his 10. We fared little better with the ball as East Kilbride got away to a flier (42 off 5 at one point!) and then despite our spinners Tom (5-0-12-0) and Asif (5-0-10-0) pegging EK back, they cruised to victory with Kampman notching an unbeaten 52 and Dalgleish 42 not out to win in the 24th over. Raj took the only wicket. At least it was a marvellous tea, sunny day and friendly opposition.
