CINNAMON GRADES (Umpires Sponsored by Shahbaaz Tandoori)

Sun Shines on the grades for two consecutive weekends, allowing completion of all the Cinnamon Grades fixture.

In Grade 1 Inverurie comfortably overhauled the St Ronald total (135) led by the bowling and batting of G. Haden (4-51 and 54no) ably supported by T. Norval (49) who narrowly missed out on his half century. At Burnett Park despite the efforts of T. Donald (68) and S. Hassan (45) from the Banchory home team were unable to prevent D. Milroy (116no) from helping secure victory for Stonehaven. At Alan Park Mannofield managed to hang onto their last wicket to force a draw from last years Grade1 champions Cults, which allowed Bon Accord to leap frog to the top spot who comfortably beat their opponents Ellon. Meanwhile at Castle Road Kintore set a total (214) that proved too much for Gordonians who are still seeking their 1^st win since being promoted to Grade 1, with pick of the batting for Kintore from C. Laird (61no) and bowling from D. Anderson (5-19).

Stoneywood-Dyce 142 for 5 (M Cohen 56no; R Greenfield 2-14). Lost to Grades Select  144 for 2 (F Awan 72no).

Grades Select 98 (P Wood 5-17). Lost to Aberdeenshire 99 for 5 (B Rodden 41; C Forbes 2-9, K Laghate 2-15).
