Posted on April 25, 2009 by Geoff| Leave a comment

FPs made a strong start to the new season as they brushed aside Fraserburgh in a 7 wicket win.  Miller, Moir and Eagles were all in fine bowling form, sharing 8 wickets, with debutant Whyte claiming 3 catches and stand in keeper Morrison grabbing 5 dismissals.

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.

Methlick (A) 26th July

Posted on July 26, 2008 by jonners| Leave a comment

There were five changes to the team to play against the MCC at Lairds. Out from last weeks heavy defeat against Crescent were Pradeep and Murali who were rested, Rory Annand was injured, Ben Frizzel was promoted to the firsts, and Junaid chose to play golf instead. That’s right, golf.

In came Magesh, back from a vodka drinking, sausage eating tour of Poland, Tom Murray back from his traumatic second visit of the year to the barbers, Nick Blyth back from a tour of England, where his presence coincided with a 10 wicket defeat by South Africa, Sam Knudson, home safely from a safari tour of Africa annoying elephants and lions and Mike Lloyd back from playing cricket in Canada and studying quantum physics or something equally difficult to spell, let alone understand.

FPs held by Academy

Posted on July 12, 2008 by Geoff| Leave a comment

FPs were unable to force a victory against Academy after a determined display by the Academy batsmen. FPs did however get the better of the draw collecting maximum batting and draw points as well as picking up 9 wickets. With Knudson and Clelland both unavailable, it was stand in skipper Morrison who lost the toss and FPs were asked to bat. With all other games off at the Duthie Park, it was a very wet pitch which greeted openers Lord and Budd. Continue reading →

Kintore (A) 12th July

Posted on July 5, 2008 by jonners| Leave a comment

This week we went from fifteen players available on Thursday night, to nine on Friday, to eleven on Saturday to actually arriving at Kintore with 10 players. Unavailable from last week was Luigi Govil and promoted to the firsts was Muthu. Craig Fraser came in to keep wicket and despite the fluctuations in numbers, nine of last week’s team made the trip to play third top Kintore.

Local derby washed out

Posted on June 14, 2008 by Geoff| Leave a comment

FPs and Gordonians were unable to play as a torrential rain storm washed out any hope of play. Stand in skipper Morrison agreed with Gordonians captain Thomson to call the game off at 1.30pm, with FPs probably the happier side as they were missing many regulars.

Shambolic fielding costs FPs victory

Posted on May 10, 2008 by Geoff| Leave a comment

A shambolic and at times embarrassing fielding display cost FPs a victory as they had to settle for a draw at Kemnay, denting their title ambitions. After making 204 for 9 declared in 41 overs, FPs could not manage to bowl Kemnay out despite having reduced them to 18 for 6 in only 10 overs.
