Dumfries Under-11s played their opening league match against Appleby on Sunday morning at home at Nunholm. Appleby set a big target batting first with their final batting pair adding over fifty runs to reach the adjusted total of 272. However the Dumfries bowlers had also hit their targets in taking 11 wickets, all bowled. Archie Coltart took 4, Angus Middlemiss took 3, and Isaac Ishmael claimed 2 wickets.
Batting, Archie Coltart and Isaac Ishmael were the top run contributors and Cory Dawson hit the boundary in the final pairing but despite only losing 6 wickets the side reached an adjusted total of 224 to fall short against a strong Appleby side. Thanks go to the Club’s junior team sponsor James Hallam Insurance for their support.
