Match Report

13th August 2006 - Biggar (at Peebles)

Phil Todd elevated to number 7 and probably is best position steered WLG home with two cracking fours to midwicket with just four balls to spare.This ended a baron run of six boundaryless overs.
It all started so well for the Gordons with both Birchmore and Reynolds restricting Biggar to singles and both deservedly taking wickets. Two catches from Sheppard and a reflex effort from Macnab at point saw some tidy fielding. Wild made a brilliant effort to get in on the act at square leg just failing to hold on to a difficult half chance. Biggar captain Adams and Savage increased the scoring rate Adams getting an excellent maximum. Adams was dropped early in his innings and was determined to make WLG pay. A straight six of Egginton was easily the shot of the day. Then Egginton and Wild put the bakes on the scoring and Scott secured the wicket of Stewart. Smith put Biggar back in the game hitting 14 of the final over ending the Biggar innings with 109.
Fairholm and Anderson got the WLG off to the perfect start both hitting rapid maximums.
This was followed by the two stroke makers Macnab and Chase and at 91 for none there looked little danger. Then a mini collapse and fast bowling from Smith in poor light ably backed by Savage saw five wickets fall and more importantly overs disappear.
However Todd kept is nerve to ensure the Gordons third win in the last four matches.

WIN for West Linton
