The Sunday XI picked up their first win of the league  campaign at Lewisvale on Sunday against Musselburgh 3rds.

Batting first, Gala opened up with father and son duo of Malcolm and John Imray. Malcolm was sadly run out early on however John continued his fine form with bat on his way to 39. An innings that included a flurry of good shots. Imray produced good partnerships alongside Sunday skipper Finlay Rutherford (17), and other 1^st XI opener, Siddhanth Siddhu, who himself went onto register a well made half century before retiring. It was Robbie Paterson and Seb Loumeau who finished off Gala’s innings, with Paterson unbeaten as the visitors concluded their 30 overs on 135 for 4.

Musselburgh got off to a slow start in reply with Liam Skeldon taking two quick wickets of the home sides openers, Powlett and Rahman. Seb Loumeau then picked up Musselburghs number 3, Boyd. A good partnership from Chowdhury (22) and Chambers (19), offered good resistance for the home side however the introduction of youngster Kieran Singhtoor changed things quickly. The young seamer bowled excellently on his way to his first ever 5 wicket haul, ripping through the Musselburgh tailend. The home side eventually ended on 95 for 9 from their 30 overs with other junior players Sam McAneny and Finlay Skeldon also bowling very well and picking up 1 wicket each.
