In
a game sponsored by Rob Roy Homes (Crieff)
ltd, Largo continued their good run of form with a convincing 8 wicket victory
at home over near neighbours Dalgety Bay.
Winning the toss and asking
the visitors to bat, Dalgety Bay made slow progress against the accurate Largo
bowling. The early wicket helped with Walker taking a sharp catch at slip of
Brown's bowling. The slow run rate
set the tone of the Dalgety Bay innings as only 16 runs were scored of the first
10 overs and a further 13 for the second 10 overs. The West Fife side had to
play some attaching shots and this is when wickets began to fall with all of the
5 Largo bowlers successful. The fielding was tight with Ali in particular taking
a sharp catch at mid-on and the dependable Kinnear and Simpson also taking
catches. The Dalgety Bay innings finished on 103 after 42 overs. Brown returned
the best bowling figures - 4 for 26.
Cook and Walker started the reply confidently and any thought the
visitors had of winning the game disappeared as they failed to get the early
wicket. Cook in particular was in commanding form, punishing the bad ball
for four to the boundary and he notched up his first half century of the
season
before
falling to a great catch at backward point for 53 with the score on 100. Walker
fell in the next over attempting to finish the game in style and it was left to
Mowat and Kinnear to wrap up the 25 points without any further losses.
