Match Report: Kelso CC First XI vs Leith Fab, Saturday 20th June
Kelso First XI were edged out by two wickets on Saturday in a contest that stayed tight from the first over to the last.
After winning the toss, Kelso opted to bat and made an assured start thanks to a composed opening stand from JS Gibson and C Davidson. On a wicket that offered plenty of challenges, both players showed patience and good judgement to steer the innings through the early overs.
JS Gibson - 45
C Davidson - 42
Kelso worked their way to 134 for 6, a total that reflected the tricky conditions as much as the effort put in.
Kelso’s bowlers kept the pressure on throughout Leith Fab's reply, with two standout spells.
C Davidson 4 for 21 (8 overs)
K Keddie 2 for 15 (8 overs)
Leith Fab eventually reached 135 for 8, just doing enough to get over the line.
Given the absence of several key players and the nature of the wicket, this was always going to be a demanding fixture.
Kelso now turn their attention to next weekend, when they host Drummond Trinity at home. We regroup, we push on and we go again.
