Ben Stars in First Carlton-MDAFS Juniors Victory
This was an excellent performance from the newly formed joint Carlton-Murrayfield-DAFS U-15 team who very quickly bonded into a strong unit in this opening League match v Watsons B at Roseburn Park on Wed 27 April.
Batting first in glorious evening sunshine, the Carlton-MDAFS innings was dominated by a 73 run second wicket stand between opener Tim Harvey and Ben Falconer. Ben batted superbly, accelerating the innings with clean hitting – including one marvellous six – and sharp running between the wicket, finally retiring on 33 (1 six, 3 fours) in style with another fierce drive for a boundary.
Watsonians however battled back well with a flurry of wickets claimed by Jones (2-11), Henderson (2-12) and Richardson (2-5). Tim Harvey, who had steadied the innings, finally fell for a patient 19 to Henderson.
A final flourish with the bat by Ross Kneebone (11) and Keshav Arvind (9 not out) saw Carlton-Murrayfield-DAFS to 125 for 7 off the allotted 20 overs.
In reply, Watsonians never got going in the face of excellent tight bowling and no batsman got into double figures – M Henderson batting at 10 top scored with 7. Watsons finishing on 50-9 having recovered from 28-8.
The bowling was shared around the Carlton-MDAFS team with 9 bowlers used. The pick of the bunch Sam Galloway with 3-3 from 2 overs, and other wicket takers Louis Robinson with 1-7 from 3 overs, Keshav Arvind 1-1 from two excellent overs of spin, and Ross Kneebone 1-7 from 2 overs. Three well worked run-outs were also executed by the team.
Man of the match undoubtedly goes to Ben Falconer not only for his excellent 33 but also an excellent wicket-keeping display with constant encouragement provided to his new team mates from behind the stumps.

Another victory for Carlton Murrayfield DAFS U15s at the cricketing paradise that is the Meadows. This time against the u15(?) of pariah club Edinburgh CC. And a very 'just' victory at that.
Batting first CMD lost Ben for 5 to a steepling delivery from ECCs Ali and then Arvind for 2 to the impressively bearded (for 15) tall quick, Hassain Arshad. Finlay Ross dug in with support from Anas Tahir and then Louis Robinson to simply keep out the openers; Anas perishing for 0 to a leg side heave. Fin departs caught for 20 (two fours) and Louis caught behind for 9. Olly Fenton is bowled by Danesh for a duck but another decent knock from Ross Kneebone of 10 keeps the innings ticking over - retired to allow other lads to have a bat at the end. Calum Everett of Carlton hit a sprightly 8 not out (including one four), ex-ECC Zain 2 and Alex Short run out 0 off the last ball. CMD finishing on 94 for 8 off 20 overs. 38 extras conceded by ECC helped our cause.
ECC are immediately pegged back off the seventh ball as Anas induces a big top edge for Arvind to take to dismiss Sahil for 1. With Aqib hitting anything loose well, ECC are progressing nicely until a double strike from Ross Kneebone to bowl both Aqib and then Ali next ball. Louis Robinson bowls Zain for 4 and a smart runout (after a couple of missed opportunities) by Anas to Ben saw Bilal dismissed for 3. Huzeif is stumped by Ben off Alex Short and then young Hassain very smartly stumped off a wide for a duck. in the descending gloom (9.00pm!!) the final ECC resistance falls with the dismissal of Adil for 10 caught by Olly Fenton off Fin Ross. The very impressive Carlton u13 Calum Everett (3-7-0) bowls a tight final over and ECC finish 14 short on 80 for 8. Only negative point in a David v Goliath style performance was the 31 extras conceded by CMD.
A very worthy and satisfying victory well led by Captain Ross and Sgt-Major Falconer behind the stumps.

Edinburgh Academy U15s concede v Carlton-MDAFS
Unfortunately EACC could not raise a team (only 2 players) so they conceded the U15 match versus Carlton-MDAFS. We had tried to run a practice game instead but that was rained off when the heavens opened at 5.30 just as the lads started to arrive!!
