Looking to bounce back after a few disappointing results of late Largo's 1st XI welcomed visitors from St Boswells who won the toss and opted to bowl in what turned out to be a good toss to lose at a very windy East Drive.

Largo opened for the first time with the partnership of the in from pair of Warrander and Naveen Kumar and from the off they punished anything loose from the visitors. Kumar especially was the aggressor and after giving a chance to the first ball from Broom he reached his 50 in the 14th over including a six rivalling the biggest at the ground over the surrounding trees and over a few a gardens as well. At the half way point Largo were over 100 without loss and a big score was on the cards.

Eventually the partnership would end after a misunderstanding in the running left Warrander short of his ground for a well played 43 but the partnership of 163 had laid the platform Largo needed. Kumar shortly after reach his hundred, his first for the 1st team and the first for the team as a whole for 4 years!!!!! His innings would end on 103 and thanks to some late hitting from Rintoul (36) and Eglinton (28) Largo would finish on their biggest score of the year on 238 for 5.

With momentum clearly on the side of the home team Eglinton and Bentley opened the bowling hoping to get some early wickets to put the pressure on the opposition and again things started immediately going Largo's way. Eglinton and Bentley both took wickets in their first over with Eglinton then carrying on bowling quick and accurate taking 3 more wickets to leave the visitors on 31-4 after 10 overs and in danger of a very heavy defeat.

The visitors though were not going to go down without a fight with the arrival of Marshall and Turnbull turning the game again. With the wind getting stronger and in the direction of the short leg side boundary Marshall in particular was hitting boundaries with ease and after 15 overs though 6 down they were well ahead of the scoring rate required.

However the home side did not have to worry for long with Harney removing Marshall for 59 and then taking 3 more before he and Eglinton finished off the innings, an innings with 9 wickets bowled and 1 great catch from Robbie Allen on 126 off just 19 overs, a win by 112 runs. The star performers being Harney 4 for 24 and Eglinton 5-16.

This was a welcome return to form from the home side raising them in the league from 2nd bottom to 5th with great performances individually by Eglinton and Kumar the headliners and with another home game next week against Carlton 3s they will be hoping for a repeat standard of performance all round.
