Fazal Destroys the Shire as Bons Go Top

The latest round of fixtures in the Thistle Sports Grades saw Bon Accord move back to the table, and Kintore into second spot, as previous leaders lost to Cults at the Allan Park in a low-scoring game which leaves the two sides level on points.

Once again the Bons were indebted for their win to a century from prolific opener Fazal Awan who finished undefeated  on 113, the next highest batsman scoring just 12 as the Links-based side chased Mannofield’s total of 168.

At the Allan Park meanwhile all twenty wickets fell for just 175 in a match in which the bowlers predominated throughout; and Kintore’s win over Ellon was a similarly low-scoring affair, with Kintore’s Phil Middleton the top batsman on either side finishing on 17 not out, as the visitors chased down Ellon’s modest total of 57.
