Saturday’s double header with Falkland saw home wins in both matches.
At Scroggie Park, Falkland posted 232 for 9, Asif Khan hitting an unbeaten 101 that helped the home side recover from a shaky 53 for 3 with Imran Saim taking the first 3 wickets to fall in a 10 over spell that conceded only 24 runs.
The Forfarshire run chase lost both openers with 11 on the board and despite a brief recovery led by Callum Garden (53 from 43 balls) and later 34 from 32 balls by Jack Hogarth, the target proved too many and Forfarshire were all out for 160.
At Forthill, the SPCU encounter saw Falkland’s openers add 54 for the first wicket before a dramatic collapse saw the promising start become 98 for 8, Graeme Garden taking 4 for 12 from 9 overs. Greg Chambers hit 26 not out to see Falkland up to 154.
In reply, Forfarshire’s top five all got starts with Graeme Garden and Ryan Watson both contributing 31 to see the 2nd XI through to a six wicket win.
