Match report

Match reduced to 15 overs per side due to drizzle [which cleared] and threat of heavy rain which didn't come.

Again Accies' start was too slow only accelerating after the 6th over with the score on 21.  The Ferguslie lads had come to Anniesland unbeaten and intended to continue that way.  In all there were 27 dot balls from the first 36 bowled. Mazzucco, Satpute and Irfan increased the rate but with the first two falling in the process.  79 from 15 overs was short of par.

Ferguslie were always ahead of the rate taking 38 from the first 6 overs and, as long as Michael English stayed at the crease, the result would not be in doubt.  He skied two catches one of which was difficult but unfortunately both went to ground.

An interesting fact - Accies scored 8 boundaries whilst Ferguslie only scored 4 but their taking of quick singles and two's was excellent and more than compensated.
