Tremendous performance from the Comets as they bravely went down to defeat on a horrendous track at Townhill. Owen provided most of the highlights along with Grahams wicketkeeping and Franks brilliant run out. See the fixtures section for scorecard and match report....

A horrendous batting display saw Carnegie beaten at home by Watsonians on Saturday. Only Neil Harris showed any resistance with the bat as Carnegie were all out for 62. David Mitchell took 4 wickets in the Watsons innings but it was not enough as Carnegie lost by 4 wickets. Match report and scorecard to follow.....

As you may know Gav hurt his thigh last week when trying to bowl 100 miles an hour without doing a warm up first. Gav is now back from seeing a specialist in California and has been diagnosed with a 'grade 2' strain which means he will be out of action for at least a fortnight.

Gav has provide this picture to show the extent of his injury.

A collection is planned at Saturdays game to get Gav some flowers. Please give generously.

Sorry for the delay sports fans! David Mitchell continues to lead the way despite winning TFC for the last 2 FPL games. The Ross brothers have began their climb away from the bottom although Gav's injury will hold him back. Lots of points to play for in the coming weeks!!

A selection of photos from the curry nite on Saturday are displayed in the Photo Gallery section.
