On the weekend past, Pepe’s St Michaels played two fixtures, against Victoria at home in the league on Saturday and then a long trip to play Dundee HSFPs away in the Challenge Cup on Sunday. It would be a disappointing weekend for Saints.

On Saturday, Saints got off to a perfect start, with Logan Fourie taking a wicket with the second ball of the day and then taking another in his third over to leave Victoria 8-2. The bowling was tight for the majority of the innings, with no Victoria batsmen getting significant scores and wickets being taken at regular intervals. However, Saints were not clinical and allowed Victoria’s middle and lower order to make handy contributions, which was helped by another couple of dropped catches, albeit they were tough chances. Victoria were eventually bowled out for 158 in 45.3 overs, with Fourie being the pick of the bowlers taking 4 wickets.

This was a very achievable target, and Saints started strong at 51-1 off 14 overs. However, Adnan Manzoor fell and was shortly followed by Reece McNay (32), which triggered a middle order collapse that has become far too common, with 8 wickets falling for only 34 runs. This left Ross Dalling and Oscar McNay at the crease for the final wicket, who both showed determination to stay in the middle and managed to restore some pride, putting on a last wicket partnership of 38. Saints ultimately fell short and lost by 35 runs.

On Sunday, a young and inexperienced team travelled to Dundee to take on a good Dundee HSPFs team. Saints batted first, and with few established batters available were bowled out for 77. Akhil Sudhi showed his attacking ability, scoring a good 35 with a couple of powerful 6s.

In reply, Dundee’s former Scotland international Steven Knox easily dealt with some loose early bowling, killing off any slight hope of a Saints victory very early on and the total being knocked off without a loss of a wicket. We wish Dundee HSPFs well for the rest of the competition.

Saints are at home again on Saturday, this time against Milngavie in an important game to attempt to get promotion hopes back on track. In order to do so, captain Reece McNay has said Saints need to improve in a number of areas, including batting, bowling and fielding.

On Saturday St Michaels Cricket Club hosted East Renfrewshire and picked up their second win of the season, but only after a tense finish winning by 1 wicket with 8 balls to spare.

Skipper Reece McNay won the toss and opted to bowl first. The St Michaels bowlers kept things tight early on to make the score on 65-4 when drinks were taken at 25 overs, with all 4 bowlers used picking up a wicket each (Reece Thompson, Logan Fourie, Akhil Sudhi and Kieran Moore). East Renfrewshire’s middle order ensured they put on a competitive total, with the steady Abadeen (28) being supported by others who played more extravagant shots. Ross Dalling picked up his first wicket of the season by sending the off-stump cartwheeling to put the score on 84-5, and Abadeen was eventually bowled by the returning Thompson who removed middle stump to make it 115-6. Thompson picked up a further 2 wickets to continue his good form with the ball, with Fourie and Dalling picking up the final 2 wickets to bowl East Renfrewshire out for 149.

Saints picked up wickets at regular intervals and never let a big partnership build, however a few dropped chances meant that the East Renfrewshire innings continued for longer than it should have and the score could have been much lower.

In reply, Saints put themselves under significant pressure early, losing all top 4 batters for only 34 runs. Thompson and Fourie steadied the ship and rotated the strike well while punishing the bad ball. Fourie was dismissed for 23, and after another quick wicket, Thompson was joined by Rory Macleod who together continued to push on towards the total. Thompson had made 33 when was caught out after mistiming a shot which left the score on 100-7. Macleod was joined by Moore, and the pair saw through a dangerous spell with East Renfrewshire using up the last overs from their talented opening bowlers in an attempt to end the game. Moore was given out LBW for 9 with 30 runs required and 14 overs remaining.

Macleod continued to bat well under pressure while being ably supported by Dalling, and both batted with extreme patience to bring the game back into Saints hands. With only 4 runs left to win, Macleod inside edged the ball onto his stumps to be out for 31, leaving Saints on their last wicket. That brought youngster Oscar McNay to the crease, and with the crowd on the edge of their seat and the fielders surrounding the bat, McNay took inspiration from a previous generation and calmly blocked out 9 balls, allowing Dalling at the other end to score the final runs and see the team across the line in the 49th over.

Saints travel to fellow promotion hopefuls Irvine next week for their first away game of the season.
