Forfarshire Cricket Club 1st XI v Falkland on Sat 14 Jun 2014 at 12noon
Forfarshire Cricket Club Won 34 runs

Match report Forfarshire jumped into second place in the CSL Eastern Premiership after a hard fought 34-run win over Falkland.

The reliable opening partnership of Matty and Wally looked in command during the early stages of the game as they took Forfs past 50 without loss in the 11th over. Henderson replaced Sharif and dismissed Craig for 27 in his fourth over when he picked out Ditchmen at short mid-wicket with the total on 73. Tony also fell to Henderson before the introduction of left arm seamer Nangia slowed the scoring rate and AB fell LBW to Ditchmen to leave Forfarshire 99 for 3 after 29 overs. A yorker from Nangia saw Matty bowled for a well made 76 and with Forfs sitting on 125 for 4 it was left to the lower order to battle for runs, Dean hitting 14 not out as Forfs finished on 161-9.

A superb display with the ball and in the field meant runs were hard to come by for Falkland in the first 30 overs, however the game remained evenly poised at 81 for 3 with Scott, Aaron and Aman sharing the wickets. The introduction of Andy in the 31st over provided the game changing moments, first came a run out through a perfect return throw from Aaron at deep mid-wicket to Craig and then a brilliant diving catch by Liam off Andy saw Sharif dismissed for 16 to turn the game Forfs way.

Umair then took 5 for 27 to sweep aside the Falkland tail and wrap up the game in the 44th over.
