Weather Denies FPs Victory in Abandonment

Posted on May 9, 2009 by Geoff| Leave a comment

FPs were denied a seemingly certain victory as heavy rain washed out the FP innings while only chasing a victory target of 64.  Despite both sides attempting to make the best of the conditions, it was clear by4pm that there was no chance of the game being completed and the captains had no alternative but to call the game off.

2nds Go Down Fighting at Portcullis

Posted on May 5, 2009 by AGSFP Cricket Club| 1 Comment

The Second XI’s opening away match this season was at the Duthie Park against Portcullis. Our large squad fluctuated from ten available on Friday morning to thirteen by Saturday lunchtime. Eventually there were four changes from the washed out opening match, Mutu was unavailable, Phillips had work commitments, Houghton was hospitalised with hopefully a non-Mexican strain of chickenpox, and Blyth was planning his forthcoming wedding.

FP’s had two debutants, Kamran and Raam, Mike Hart made his annual comeback and Raj travelled up from Edinburgh to help us out again.

New Season 4 Days Away

Posted on April 21, 2009 by Geoff| Leave a comment

The new season is only a few days away with Firsts away to Fraserburgh in Grade 2 while the seconds are at home to Stoney Dyce in Grade 4.

This website will soon allow you to advise how to access this once available. Fixture lists can be viewed on the website and there are a few cup games on a Sunday and the sevens competition in June.

There will be practice at Rubislaw on Thursday’s from 1800hrs onwards although we will not have the nets available, so we will use the artificial and possibly the bowling machine instead. We should have the nets available the week after.

The nets are currently being upgraded and extended to improve our practise facilities and this improvement will hopefully be worth waiting for.

New playing shirts are also due to arrive this week and will be available for the bargain price of £20.

Finally, anyone who has not yet paid subs can do so either online or by sending a cheque to Geoff Morrison.

2nds End Season on a High at Stoneywood

Posted on August 30, 2008 by jonners| Leave a comment

Last week’s close defeat against promotion favourites Banchory meant that the last game of the season against Stoneywood-Dyce would decide which of the two teams would finish bottom of Grade 3.

There were two changes to the team, out through injury went James Lord, and Edinburgh based Pradeep was spared the trip to Aberdeen as in came Rory Annand, and due to make his debut was Kevin Warner. Unfortunately Warner was a very, very late call off, and had it not been for a B&Q non-delivery of a fence for Geoff Morrison, we would have been one man short.

Banchory (H) 23rd August

Posted on August 23, 2008 by jonners| Leave a comment

Following last week’s magnificent victory against Turriff, there were only two changes for the vital game against Banchory 2nd XI at Rubislaw. Both teams desperately needed the 30 points for the win, Grammar to help avoid relegation, and Banchory to help gain promotion.

Sam Knudson was unavailable due to rugby friendlies, not relegation battles, just friendlies. But to replace him in the team from the firsts came all rounder James Lord. To ensure we had eleven this week, we had to send for one of our Edinburgh squad members, Pradeep.

Turriff (A) 16th August

Posted on August 16, 2008 by jonners| Leave a comment

There were three changes to the team which won so convincingly at Dunecht two weeks previous. Out went Blyth who, having hit peak form, is now concentrating on the hockey season. John Lord and Craig Fraser were recalled to the first eleven, hoping to carry that winning feeling to the firsts.

Back from holiday came Tom Murray, and back from Partyland came Mike Phillips. Kevin Warner was all ready to make his debut, and flew his wife over from the West Indies especially to watch, only for him to fall foul of Scottish flu on the Friday night, and sadly he had to call off on Saturday morning.

Dull Draw After FPs Run Fest

Posted on August 16, 2008 by Geoff| Leave a comment

FPS today played out a dull draw with an Artisan’s side battling to stay in Grade 2  The away side will be the happier of the sides with their relegation rivals losing heavily. Once again, Hamish Chisholm was the thorn in FPs side batting 50 overs for 43 not out.  This was certainly not a good advert for cricket, but credit must be given to Chisholm who played correctly throughout, showing little aggression as Artisans settled for a draw at an early stage.
