Results
The 1st XI has made it into the top six in the senior league, but will have to work hard to achieve results against the teams ranked above. The 2nd XI finished off the reserve league campaign with a historic win against league winners Fort William at Fort Augustus Abbey. The 2nd XI was skippered for the first time by Jam Jars, who made the most of the opportunity, scoring 47 on a tricky wicket and then taking 3 for 7 off 5 overs. It was a great team effort and the juniors played especially well.
Day Tripping
Fordy, Skippy, Jam Jars and One Short travelled to Mannofield, Aberdeen, on the 2nd of July to watch Scotland defeat Ireland in the tri-nation series also involving New Zealand. It was a great day by all accounts with plenty of sunshine and liquid refreshments. It wasn't all cricket, as the lads took the opportunity to do some local bird watching. For Fordy it all proved a little too much and with no tequila available to revive him, it was peaceful.

Highlight of the day for Jam Jars was meeting former Indian International player Javagal Srinath.
