Kinross U11s vs
Strathearn – Wednesday 27th April @ Kinross House
The U11s got off to a winning start
to the season playing against a Strathearn side
containing several over-age players. Kinross won the
toss and elected to bat. They batted steadily against
some wayward bowling, managing to score 94 in total for
the loss of three wickets, giving a final score of 79.
Jack McCreanor and Lewis McLaren top-scored with 8 runs
each. Stuart McCreanor and Sean Keegan supported them
chipping in with 6 runs each.
The Kinross bowling was much
more accurate and gave the older Strathearn players the
chance to a play some shots. However it also produced
several wickets. Strathearn managed to score 95 runs in
total but lost seven wickets, giving a final score of
60. Jack and Stuart McCreanor both took two wickets,
with Craig Lewis and Lewis McLaren taking one each. Pick
of the fielders was Hannah Peedle with a brilliant catch
in the deep and a run-out.
Result – Kinross won by 19 runs.
Kinross U11s vs Dunfermline U11s –
Tuesday 10th May @ Kinross House
The U11s continued their winning
ways on a damp night against Dunfermline. Kinross lost
the toss and Dunfermline decided to bat first. The first
Dunfermline pair put on 27 in their four overs and a big
score looked on the cards. However, the rest of the
batting struggled against the Kinross attack and
Dunfermine finished with 73 runs for the loss of seven
wickets, giving a final score of 38. Jack McCreanor and
Sally Weir both took two wickets. Craig Lewis and Sean
Keegan took one wicket each. Pick of fielders was Sally
Weir with some great stops and a run out.
The Kinross opening pair also
got the team off to a good start, scoring 26. The rest
of the Kinross batting struggled against some hostile
bowling. Kinross were a player short so borrowed a
Dunfermline player for the last batting pair.
Unfortunately the guest player was out twice to make the
last over interesting. Kinross needed two runs to win;
Sean Keegan scrambled a single off the 3rd ball to tie
the scores, leaving the Dunfermline player to face the
final three balls. He survived and a wide off the 5th
ball gave Kinross the game. Jack McCreanor top scored
with 12, Hannah Peedle and Stuart McCreanor both scored
6. Kinross finished with 65 runs for the loss of five
wickets, giving a final score of 40.
Result – Kinross won by 2 runs.

throughout their innings, and all the Kinross batsmen
made a contribution. Jack McCreanor scored 10, Craig

Ulla and Struart McCreanor each scored 7, Toby Douglas
scored 6 and Jamie Glasgow scored 3. Kinross ended with

with Jamie Glasgow and Lewis McLaren taking one each.
