☀️ SEASON FINALE THRILLER AT THE GRANGE! ☀️
Today marked Dollar CC’s final domestic match of the season, and what an absolute scorcher of a day it was to sign off in style! 🌡️🏏

We travelled through to the prestigious Grange Cricket Club to take on the Grange Masters. A massive shoutout to the groundsmen at The Grange—the pitch was in fabulous condition, and the outfield was lightning fast! ⚡🌱

🪵 Family Fortunes in the Field
Dollar took to the field first, and our stalwarts put in a superb bowling performance, punctuated by a classic mix of incredible dropped catches and absolute blinders!

Nic The Cat took a ridiculous catch in the slips that is never to be repeated and Bruce will go to bed happy tonight with his wicket haul.

The Prasad family stole the show in the field:

* Zane Prasad bagged two huge catches, including a classic family moment taking one off his brother Reuben’s bowling! 🎯

* Not to be outdone, their dad got in on the action too, settling under a high-sky catch that was up in the air for so long that three different fielders had enough time to discuss whose name was on it before he safely tucked it away! 😂🤲

☕ Tea, Tunnock’s & The Chase
After refueling with a wonderful spread—featuring the ubiquitous Scottish staple, the Tunnock's Teacake 🍫🍪—it was Dollar’s turn to chase down the target.

* The Brave Opener: Marcus Tinsley put on a masterclass, smashing a brilliant 50 not out, despite picking up a proper zinger of a finger injury earlier in the field! Proper grit. 💪🔥

* Career High: Zane Prasad capped off a fantastic day by putting in a brilliant shift with the bat, scoring a personal club-best of 22 runs! 👏

* The Grand Finale: It got a bit tighter than we would have liked, coming right down to the final two overs. Marcus returned to the crease alongside Captain Cameron Glasgow, who kept his cool and sealed the match in style, crashing a 4 through the field to bring it home! 🏆🎉

🥂 That’s a Wrap!
What a brilliant, high-drama match to bring a fantastic domestic season to a close. A huge thank you to the Grange Masters for being superb hosts, to all our players, supporters, sponsors, and volunteers who made this summer one to remember!

Now, eyes set on the next adventure... Milan tour, here we come! 🇮🇹✈️

🏏 ROAD TRIP VICTORY IN COMRIE! 🏏

On Sunday, Dollar CC packed up and travelled over to play our old friends at Comrie CC! 🚗💨
Leaving Dollar was a leap of faith—it had been raining continuously since 5 pm the day before back home! But to our utter surprise, Comrie seemed to have avoided the weather entirely, serving up great conditions for cricket. ☀️🙌

🚐 Obstacle Course Cricket?
There had clearly been a big event at the ground the night before, leaving a few... choice vehicular targets parked around and inside the boundary! 🚙🚛

The captains had a lively debate before the toss, though they never quite agreed on whether dropping a ball straight into the camper van behind the bowler counted as a 6! 🚐💥😂

🇨🇦 International Duty & Young Stars

With our resident Captain Cameron Glasgow away in Canada on international duties representing the country in the Over-60s World Cup 🇨🇦🏆 , Bruce Harper stepped up brilliantly to lead the side.

We were also delighted to have our young crew back in action, featuring two Dollar Academy pupils in the lineup—continuing a fantastic trend we've seen all season long! 🎓✨

📊 The Match Report

The First Innings: Dollar batted first and put together a very solid innings, led by strong knocks from Adam Buchanan-Smith, Wayne Sullivan, and young Harris Harper! Special mention must go to the Comrie captain, who pulled off an absolute stormer of a catch to dispatch Reuben Prasad! Dollar closed on a strong 171. 🪵

Tea Time: Our hosts put on a truly delightful tea ☕🍰 before it was time for them to strap on the pads.

The Chase: Comrie put in a valiant effort with the bat, but our bowling attack proved too strong on the day. They were held to 102, sealing another fantastic win for Dollar CC! 🏆🎉

Huge thanks to Comrie CC for their warm hospitality, great tea, and yet another brilliant, entertaining day of cricket. Always a pleasure, gents! 🥂👏

🚨 🏏 Dollar Cricket Club victory over Largo Cricket Club by 19 runs 🏏 🚨

Today we were delighted to welcome Largo CC to Newfield for our 3rd annual match to celebrate the life of a dear friend of both clubs, Ben ‘Beano’ Henderson.

After our visitors chairman (via his captain) passed on some moving remarks about Ben, DCC skipper for the day Bruce Harper opted to have a bat. Adam Buchanan-Smith went on to top score after a powerful and well-timed opening knock of 36. The thick outfield frustratingly limited runs as a number of good shots ran out of momentum just shy of the boundary. JP Ward added to the cause with a quick 21, but with only 3 more scores venturing into double figures we were bowled out in the final over for a below average score of 130. Special mention to young DCC member, Aaron Ross who pulled on the Largo colours today and bowled a very skilful spell.

In reply our handy opening bowling duo of Ben Dryer and Tim Dillon kept the early run rate low, as Dillon cut through the Largo top order with 3 wickets in his first 3 overs. A stubborn 4th wicket stand was finally broken from a well reacted direct-hit run-out from Charlie Dunn in the covers. This was followed up by Ward producing one of the spells of the season (4-21) as he and captain Harper, with the aid of some sensational catching kept us ahead. An all-timer of a low diving catch from Buchanan-Smith at first slip brought the curtain down on an extremely competitive contest as we held on with 19 runs to spare.

Special mention to all those who organised food for the barbecue held during the tea interval. Now let us end where this day began, for Ben.

Some highlights from our Comrie game at the weekend.

🏏 NAIL-BITER AGAINST COMRIE CC! 🏏
Yesterday, Dollar CC welcomed our brilliant friends from Comrie CC for a match that truly had absolutely everything—rain delays, a century, dropped catches, and a final-ball thriller! 🌧️🔥

The day started with true club cricket camaraderie; Comrie were a few players short, so several Dollar lads stepped up to supplement their side and ensure the game went ahead. We ourselves were down on numbers this week with many of our youth players currently on international duties for Dollar Academy in Kenya🤝

🌧️ Rain Stops Play (Briefly!)
The Scottish weather tried its best to spoil the party, forcing the covers on after just a couple of overs. But the rain cleared up fast, things dried out, and we got stuck into a fantastic, shortened game where the runs really started to flow!
The First Innings: Dollar padded up and put on a very solid performance, setting a formidable total of 182.

The Chase: Eager to keep the momentum going, we decided to skip tea until after the match and put Comrie straight in to bat!

🪵 Back-to-Back 50s for James!
Following up on his brilliant performance against Glenalmond, James was in absolute peak form once again. He anchored our innings beautifully, fetching back-to-back half-centuries for Dollar! Talk about a man in form. 🎯🔥

😱 A Final-Ball Thriller
Comrie’s chase was spectacular. Backed by a few too many dropped catches from the Dollar fielders (we'll blame the greasy ball! 🤫), Comrie’s number 2 batsman put on an absolute masterclass, smashing a sterling 103 runs! 💯✨

It all came down to a nail-biting, nerve-shredding final ball of the match. Comrie needed a big finish but fell just short, closing their innings on 181—handing Dollar CC an incredibly tight 1-run victory! 🏆🎉

⭐ Another Academy Debut!
The future talent pipeline just keeps on delivering! We were thrilled to give a debut to yet another fantastic Dollar Academy pupil, who made an instant impact on the game by picking up both a catch and a wicket! 🎓🎯
Huge thanks to Comrie CC for a fantastic, competitive day out played in the best possible spirits. It's always a pleasure, gents!
