Report
The inaugural game with Abertay did not prove a big success as late withdrawals had left Abertay with only 4 players available. Still, we made a game of it on a very cold night by making up their fielding when we batted, allowing their 3 bowlers to complete all their overs, and giving their batters a few lives each. Colin Reid’s excellent 38 formed the backbone of the DUSCC innings, and there was equally good fielding in the Abertay reply despite the muscle-tightening low temperatures, not least Dennis Petrie’s diving catch off his own bowling to complete a hat-trick (you can see why he made the effort for that one). In trying circumstances the DUSCC players selected should feel very proud of their efforts to make a worthwhile game of this one. Note: scorecard very approximate!
