Come to Freuchie for Day Two - Sussex Ladies are here! Game starts at one o’clock, with barbecue starting in the afternoon (I think - don’t hold my feet to the fire) and the Milenberg Jazz Band in the evening. As I write, the sun is shining. Let’s hope it keeps it up. Roll Up! Roll Up!

In the meantime, a little about Day One: We had a pretty wet day here for yesterday’s match against the Scottish President’s XI, but we got through 40 overs apiece with some really entertaining cricket along the way. The President’s men’s 225 was a bit much for us, but we got to a creditable 175 in reply, with some sterling efforts from Arun Trivedi and Duffer, to name but two.

A few pics from visiting photographer Alan Richardson -

A moment of success for the fielding side, with Arun, Duffer, Robbie Birrell and guest star Andy Goram in shot.

When you see the determination on Kenny Crichton’s face, it’s no surprise that we had some successes.

While Andy shows that Kenny’s not the only determined guy on the park.

Just to show that we had at least some sunny moments - anxious Freuchie players and supporters look on.

Gour keeps his eye on the ball, with partner Stevie Rowley poised for a run.

And a heart-in-mouth moment as Gour looks on from the other end.
