Looking to get a vital win to lift themselves up the table Largo 2s welcomed Morton to East Drive and on what looked a great day for batting after winning the toss the visitors elected to bat first.

Opening with Bentley and Peddie the Morton openers punished anything short or wide and moved easily to 40 off the first 10 overs without much encouragement for the home side. Captain Sneddon then brought in Sadler to the attack who would take 2 wickets quickly and along with Michie kept the flow of runs in check with Morton 82-2 off 20 overs. From there Galloway and Mowat entered the attack but unfortunately aside from a very good catch on the boundary from Galloway himself, some poor fielding in terms of catching and ground fielding held back the home sides efforts with runs coming at a quick place and by the end of the innings Morton had reached 210-6 off their 40 overs, Amis batting through the innings for 91NO.

In need of a strong effort to win despite the good batting conditions Largo opened with Mowat and Bentley but they started slowly as they faced some very tight bowling early on coupled with both batsman struggling to find the gaps in the field as their opposite numbers did earlier. With the score only on 18 off 12 overs, the first change bowers came on for Morton and finally Largo began to get some momentum with Mowat especially finding the boundary before both openers would go in quick succession just before drinks with Largo on 58-2 off their first 20 overs.

With the innings set up to attack the final 20 overs Galloway and Sneddon duly obliged with both finding the boundaries with ease with Galloway especially hitting double digits himself in a few overs to bring the score with in reach needing 78 with 10 to go. However Sneddon would fall to a great catch in the deep by Nagpal for 28 and despite a few big hits from McGilvery and Robinson the innings would eventually run out of steam when Galloway was run out for 63 leaving Largo still needing 30 off the last 3 overs. The home side would finish on 190 off their 40 overs which would mean maximum batting points but sadly not the win the home side had hoped for. They will hope to get back to winning ways next week against Dunnikier.
