Cambusdoon fall agonisingly short
The Cambusdoon XI travelled to Paisley to take on Meiklriggs where they fell narrowly short in their run chase. The home team batted first and were soon in trouble as Robbie Walsh removed both openers cheaply before the middle order steadied the ship only for the spin twins of Maxwell and Baines to strike and then Richie Borland was introduced into the attack and duly cleaned up the tail as they were bowled out for 198. Maxwell finishing with figures of 3-45.
For Cambusdoon, Jake Woodhouse was the mainstay of their run chase as the Meiklriggs attack also made early inroads, with the visitors losing Lewis Lilley and Richie Borland with only 13 on the board. With wickets falling regularly at the other end Woodhouse went on to make his first senior fifty, but when he was the eighth wicket to fall for 53 the Cambusdoon men were still 67 short of their target but Steve Baker (28) and Matthew Cooper (23) chipped away at the total and when Baker was last man out they had fallen an agonisingly five runs short.

Cambusdoon XI make it a double for the weekend
The Cambusdoon XI hosted GHK at Cambusdoon in their seasonal opener. Captain Ross Mitchell won the toss and chose to bat. Overseas Amateur Duanne Grobler got them off to a flyer with a rapid 69 off 52 balls and along with useful contributions from Ross Mitchell (21), Mikey Maxwell (26), Jake Woodhouse (19) and Matty Baines (27 no) as they reached 212-6 off their 35 overs.
In reply GHK got off to a disappointing start with Callum Forsyth removing Muramalla in the first over. Ahsan Rafiq with 50 gave the visitors some hope, but with the run rate climbing and wickets falling steadily they were eventually bowled out for 178, with two wickets each for Baines, Woodhouse and Maxwell.
