The Dumfries junior side produced a good all-round team effort at Lanercost Under-11s for their win on Sunday. All the batting pairs contributed for the Dumfries team to reach their total of 277 for only two dismissals.
Cory Dawson and Jack Cyfert were the side’s equal top scorers. Keyaan Carpenter and Archie Coltart each hit boundaries and not outs were registered by Gregor Martin, Daniel Wilcox-Homer, Macey Byers and Isaac Ishmael. All the bowlers then successfully defended that to win by 37 runs with five bowlers each taking a wicket, and with five run-outs in the field, plus the James Hallam Insurance Coach’s Highlight was a great diving caught and bowled wicket by Keyaan on debut.
