Falkland launch friendly fire at Freuchie

The cricket season in Fife got off to a cold but significant start on Saturday at Freuchie as they welcomed Falkland for a 30 over friendly.

Falkland batted first and reached 173 thanks to 50 from veteran Graeme Watson and 41 from newcomer Arul Senthil.

Freuchie never really got going in the face of some tight Falkland bowling and fielding, and finished well short.

I t was encouraging to see cricket played again, and a feature of the game was that a young girl played for each side and made a significant contributions to the game, Lois Wilkinson of Freuchie and Emma Halliwell of Falkland.

Scoreline: Falkland 173 for 5 (G Watson 50, A Senthil 41, A Ferguson 26 not out) Freuchie 96 for 7 (S Munro 28, R Birrell 26)
