Bob Tulip took the captaincy for the league fixture against the Swalwell Nine Pins at Ulgham and showed his ruthless streak! Bob won the toss and put the Pins into bat, facing a charged up pairing of Richie Munro and Andy Robson. The pair obliged, supported by excellent, well drilled fielders. Richie took 4-1-7-4 and the MoM award with Andy 4-1-10-2 as the Pins just kept on falling. Ian Younger claimed last man and 3.5-0-21-1 after Don had cleaned up with 2-0-2-3 and young Peter Wilson got in a late over for 9 off. There were catches for Craig Turnbull, Rob Burns and Ian Younger with Gowla only conceding 3 leg byes. Great performance all round and Pins all down for 58 in the 15th over.
The Rowlands reply saw Bob Tulip and Colin Tait start up in determined fashion. Colin was not out 26 (3 fours), Bob scored 18 with two boundaries of different kinds and then Andy Robson and Richie Munro (first baller!) each ducked out to give Pins the faintest interest in the game! Phil hit his usual boundary, but only a 4 to be 6 not out when the target was met in time for maximum points, 59-3 in the 8th over. Craig Turnbull and Robbie were next padded up but not required to bat this time.
