However, Portcullis were eventually dismissed for 98, leaving Fraserburgh with a modest target but a tricky pitch to navigate.
The Skipper asked for one thing before the match “bat the overs” unfortunately some of the batters quickly forgot this getting out to some silly shots.
The visitors refused to let Fraserburgh cruise home Vinay produced an excellent spell of 3-28 from eight overs. Jaimin was economical, conceding just 14 runs from six overs. The fielding was exceptional.
With wickets falling, Portcullis continued to apply pressure and briefly threatened to turn the match around.
Fraserburgh, however, held their nerve and eventually reached 101-6, securing victory by four wickets.
For Portcullis it was a frustrating defeat close to the of the season. Godse’s three-wicket haul and Panchal’s miserly spell ensured Fraserburgh had to work hard for every run but they got there in the end.

Viva Portcullis
