FPs can’t compete with Champions

FPs were brushed aside in just over 2 hours by a powerful Bon Accord side in a ten wicket defeat at the Links.  FPs were all out for 56, Whyte top scoring with 13, before Bon Accord knocked off the runs inside 8 overs.

Whyte then hooked 3 fours off Awan, before he and Tenneti both departed, tenneti caught close in by Dhiman for 4 off Bhalani’s bowling and Whyte caught behind off Awan.  Awan then bowled James Lord for 1, Sam Knudson for a duck and had Milne caught behind for a duck as FPs lost there last 3 wickets for 0 runs to be bowled out for 56.
