| West District Fixture Vs Touring Indian Side. - Posted by Iain Stewart WDO @ 15:24:09 |
| On Tuesday 10th June 10.45am start a showpiece 50 overs per side match will take place at Clydesdale CC's Titwood ground between the Alpine Club of Delhi and a WDCU XI The `ALPINE SPORTS CLUB` is a newly developed cricket academy in Delhi, whose founders; Vaibhav Dua - played county cricket for Sussex during 2000-2004 - and Sidhartha Verma - played professional cricket for Delhi in the Ranji trophy competition. Paul Tramontanas an Australina PE teacher currently residing in Perth, Tayside is Tour Manager for the Indian starlets. The Western Union will be meeting the costs for this showpiece match between the West District and the Alpine Club of Delhi. Umpires for the day are John McGregor and Alan Dickie. The XI will be a strong one involving SNCL players from West clubs as well as a couple of u18 Western Academy players plying their trade in the Union 1st & 2nd divisions. WDCU Secretary Mark Colman is upbeat about the showpiece event: ''I saw the Star Club of India play a strong WDCU selectabout 15 years ago at Killie’s old ground and they scored 270 to win by a whisker. They had at least two guys who went on to play Test cricket that day and the WDCU select were no slouches either with at least 2 pros playing! So I am sure Alpine will be strong also'' Match Manager is Iain Stewart the West Development Manager for Cricket Scotland. Anyone wishing to sponsor the match please email WDCU Treasurer: dickies.catch@blueyonder.co.uk |

| West Best At Girls Cricket.....again! - Posted by Iain Stewart WDO @ 12:15:34 |
The second and now annual Borders Indoor 6-a-side tournament held at the Gytes Leisure Centre in Peebles for Under-16 Girls was retained by an entirely different West VI that swept all aside in 2007. West team manager Belinda Mitchell and coach Farhaj Sidduqui’s couldn’t hide their delight as their girls overcame the odds (and last minute cry-offs) to emerge victorious in an event that bears witness to the emerging and burgeoning talent that is girls cricket in Scotland. 50 girls representing teams from Berwickshire High School at Duns, a Borders team (from Biggar Gala, Kelso and Peebles cricket clubs), Dollar Academy, Kinross CC, the Western Union and, beaten finalists, SportsCentral McLaren, divided into two groups played each other once in the group and then ‘played-off’ against the other group to decide final placings. Borders CDO Neil Cameron was effusive in his praise of the cricket played: ‘I am delighted to see that the standard of cricket has leapt ahead from last year. This was a really good day for Scottish women’s cricket’ he said. Before the tournament reached it’s climactic finale the girls entertained the sizeable gallery of parents, siblings and fellow players; all the elements of an exciting cricket tournament were there: big-hitting, tight and accurate bowling, batters and fielder holding-up and crumbling to pressure in equal measure, aggressive running between the wickets, stunning fielding stops, narrowly missed run-outs a couple of excellent stumpings and on or two nail-biting finishes (not least the final). All of the girls were a credit to their schools and clubs and the whole tournament was played in an excellent spirit; the support was excellent and the applause generous and merited. At the end Councillor Graham Garvie the Scottish Borders Council’s sports portfolio holder (and one of the men behind Glasgow’s successful 2014-Commonwealth Games bid) was hand to present medals, merit certificates and the Trophy. |
