4s narrowly lost to title chasing Peebles. After posting 167/4 including 53 from Pickles and 43 from Alan Paterson, Mufs were in the game having them at 17/3. However good support all round saw them get the runs with 2 overs left, but having 8 wickets down. Star with the ball was Brad with 3 wickets.

Better news though from Goldenacre as the 3s hammered Heriots with Darryn scoring a century and Pav a 50 with an opening stand of 166 chasing 168!

1s were rained off but thanks to those who stayed around to support the 4s.

The 4s were beaten but there were so many positives to be taken from the games against league leading Peebles County 2s. Batting first in the drizzle there were not many that thought we'd get a game in but the one we did was a cracker that ebbed and flowed until the final couple of balls bowled.

Indeed had it not been for the Astro wicket we'd all have been sitting in the Murrayfield Hotel with the Ones watching the Lions. However with only a 30 minute delay and agreeing a shortened 35 over game Graham and Irfan took to the wicket. A decent start saw the score ticking nicely but Graham chipped one to mid-on, which brought Charlotte to the wicket. Irfan though went on to score 27 until he edged to the keeper with the score on 39. Brad fell for a duck and at 18 over drinks the score was a modest 55 for 3. Subhash on debut hit a creditable 16 in a 45 run partnership but his wicket brought Alan Paterson to the crease in the 28 over with the score on 92 and Pickles already on 31. What followed though must rank towards the very top of Mufs batting displays. In the 7 overs Charlotte and Alan put on 69 runs with a demonstration of brilliant running including 3 off a ball that didn’t leave the square and was never more than 10 yards from the bat. Alan’s personal 43 came from only 27 balls and included 4 fours and a 6, but far more impressive was the pressure put on the fielders. Finally out going for another big hit Alan departed, and the incoming Rob took a quick single and all was that was left was for Charlotte to complete a maiden 50 for Mufs. Batting from the 6th over Pickles was unbeaten on 53 and her innings concluded 2 fours, 3 threes and 10 twos. That meant Mufs had a creditable 167/5 off their 35 overs and with batting and wickets in hand could have gone onto a far bigger score.

After tea, a sprightly Mufs took the field and were celebrating almost immediately as some sharp work from Rob at slip gathered the ball and ran out opener Murray. Further success wasn’t far behind as Alan bowled Ainslie and Rob’s catching accounted for Wolfe-Murray (slightly) junior off the skippers bowling. After that Mufs took steady wickets and Peebles got runs quickly. Amongst that Brad took his first Mufs wickets on his way to 3-33 including another slip catch from Rob. At drinks County were well ahead of the run rate but were 7 down after Angus Wolfe-Murray was finally out for 25. Tight but wicketless overs followed from the returning El Sec but Mufs thought they’d just nipped ahead when a full toss from Irfan bowled Betteridge for 36. That left them to get 16 and us to get 2 wickets. However some tidy batting saw them home with Pace (9) and Entwhistle (10) unbeaten with 13 balls to spare.

All in all though, this was a very creditable show by the Mufs taking half points against a team very likely to occupy one of the promotion spots. However we have a chance for revenge as the fixture quirks mean they come to us again in August.
