| Match Reports in Brief |
| Saturday 1st of August 1st XI Lairds vs 2nd XI Banchory Saturday arrived with black skies and a fine drizzle to threaten the promotion tussle at Methlick with Banchory. The benefit of having covers on the wicket were once again proved, with a fine hard track for batsmen and bowlers alike. However, the same could not be said about the outfield, but marvelous work by the ground staff meant that the game could proceed as scheduled, but for how long? Conti:- Saturday 25th of July 1st XI Away vs Crathie With little separating the two sides, Saturday’s encounter had the makings of the usual battle between the men from Lairds and Crathie, and a break from the weeks rain came as a bonus. Conti:- Saturday 4th of July 1st XI Away vs 2nd XI Cults Another sunny, steamy day saw Methlick on the road to Allan Park to play against the team one place behind them. After giving them a sound thrashing at Lairds, MCC were expecting to win at a canter and push for second place in the Grade.Conti:- Saturday 27th of June 1st XI Away vs Queens Cross MCC against Queens Cross is
always sure to
provide a tense, exciting game and after last year’s cup final defeat ,
Methlick have always looked for revenge. The first encounter this
season was
rained off after a very powerful innings from their opponents, and a
narrow
defeat was handed out after a splendid game at Lairds. Conti:- Saturday 20th of June 1st XI Away vs Caledonian Once
again, the threat
of rain disappeared as Methlick headed into Saturday 13th of June 1st XI Home vs. Aberdeen Grammar FPs Once again, with a full weekend of cricket, dark skies loomed above Methlick as the home side prepared to entertain the league leaders, Aberdeen Grammar Former Pupils. The benefits of investment in covers for the wicket showed through as once again a fantastic batting strip was on offer, and a run-fest was in the offing. Conti:- Saturday 13th of June 2nd XI Away vs 2nd XI Gordonians Early morning rain in Methlick suggested we might not play at all, but Sunday 14th of June 1st XI Home vs Queens Cross - (Bon Accord Cup) One of the keynotes of Methlick’s season has been that in all the cup matches played, we have been up against the teams that we would expect to face in the later stages, and Sunday’s game against Queens Cross was no different, being a replay of last years final.
