Report
DUSCC retained the Ferrier Cup with a hard-fought win by 22 runs, set up by excellent top order batting from Pete Yearworth (54) and a good all-round bowling and fielding effort in defence of 161. Pete’s contribution enabled DUSCC to get off to an excellent start, aided by a large number of extras. However, after his departure the innings fell away alarmingly, and we lost our last wicket with 2 overs still left, and the last 8 wickets having contributed just 25 runs. Although St Andrews got off to a solid start, adding 49 for the first wicket, they fell gradually behind the rate required, and the DUSCC bowling, if not penetrative, was tight enough for St Andrews not to be able to regain the initiative.
