Batting lets down Largo side

Looking to get back to wining ways Largo 1sts travelled to Edinburgh to face table topping Morton. On what looked like a good bowling wicket captain Rintoul won the toss and elected to bowl.

Opening with himself and Eglinton it was Rintoul who made the breakthrough straight away removing opposition captain Aron for a duck. This proved to be the only wicket for the openers with Lingram and Mahalingram putting together a good partnership before the returning David Scott removed Lingram for 20. Mahalingram would make 50 and with Adiecha making 34 Morton looked set for a good score. However the removal of both of the set batsman both to Rintoul resulted in a lower order collapse with the home side slipping from 108-2 to 142 all out thanks to some accurate bowling and good work in the field, the stand out Rintoul 4-25.

With momentum very much with the Largo side the in-form pair of Warrander and Kumar opened the batting however the innings would never get started for the visitors. With only John Robertson and Murray Sneddon getting in to double figures Largo slipped to 14-4 and then 45-7 before finishing on 61 all out.

This was a disappointing batting effort, surprising with this being the strong point for Largo this year though on a tough batting pitch, and an effort that will hopefully be forgotten before next weeks game against fellow Fifers Falkland.
