Islay Goes to School
Well, near the school – along the schuill wall, and round the park to learn a bit about cricket.
Catch her report in The Scottish Review – good pics of the park, the lads, and star of stage screen and radio, Mary Low. Well, star of Islay’s report.
What we should have told Islay is that this was the first round of the Patent Attorney Murgitroyd & Company‘s Caledonia T:20, and a fine match it was. We batted first for a tolerable score of 157, with DHSFP always pretty much up with the clock when it came their turn. Things could have gone absolutely either way, but a truly stunning one-handed catch from skipper Alan Wallace off the bowling of Scott Gourlay (once again – see Islay’s report in The Scottish Review for some comment on each of them) tipped matters in our favour and we ran out winners by nine runs. (I think the lower right of Islay’s pictures is Alan W getting back on his feet from taking that catch, Scott G in the background saying “YES!!” and I think we scored two runs more than Islay credits us with, but I’m not going to argue with a lady).
