Meigle Park update
Our 1sts secured a three wicket win over Morton in the Championship, with Robbie Paterson taking four wickets, Jamie Crooks notching a half century and Bailey Paterson scoring the winning runs.
The 2nds also won by three wickets, against Morton 3rds at Meigle Park, with Ben McColm and Scott Paterson taking three wickets each and Max Hastings scoring a half century. Ben and Max were named joint Starrett players of the match.
This week sees Gala travel to Peebles for a Border T20 game at Whitestone Park at 6pm, before the 1sts host Carlton 2nds at Meigle Park on Saturday at 12noon. Match ball sponsor is Dave Robertson.
The 2nds are due to travel to Watsonians 3rds on Saturday, with a 1pm start.
The club is still looking for any new, returning or lapsed players who may wish to join the club this season as we try our best to field two teams every Saturday – please contact us via social media or galacricketclub@gmail.com if interested. Training takes place every Monday and Thursday from 6.15pm at Meigle Park.
Juniors
We had an extremely busy week with our junior section. We travelled to Carlton u14s last Monday and competed well against a well drilled team, with Thor Solheim and Leo Paterson top scorers and Cullen Halley and Herbie Simpson claiming a wicket each.
Last Wednesday saw the club host a primary five tournament – thanks to Reece McNay and Ewan Lindores for helping organiser alongside our volunteer umpires – and then Friday evening saw our kwik cricket squad head to Manderston to win both their games, as well as the start of the All Stars Cricket.
Finally, we hosted Grange on Sunday at under 15 level, where we lost by 33 runs in an excellent day of cricket.
