Bon Accord continue to dominate the top of Grade 1 despite the batting performance for Cults from N. Jadhav (47) as they comfortably beat last years champions; Cults could only reach a total of 121 restricted by the bowling of F. Awan (5-21) and supported by N. Mirza (2-30). Hot on the trail of the leaders, hoping for the leaders to slipup, are Ellon who continued with their winning streak by easily dismissing Gordonians for 87 led by the bowling for Ellon from R. Wade (5-28) and S. White (2-8). Meanwhile at Castle Road the visiting neighbours Inverurie’s total (113) was not enough, as Kintore surpassed the total without loss led by the undefeated batting of D. Grayson (54no) and G. Prosser (52no). Down at the beach Mannofield were unable to chase down the substantial Banchory total (215 for 5) led by centurion S. Hassan (110) and supported with bowling from D. Masud (5-49). At Kings College the visitors Stonehaven supported by the bowling of D. Crozier (5-22) got the better of St Ronald despite a half century from A. Deep (53).

In Grade 2 AGSFP continue to occupy pole position as they restricted Fraserburgh’s total to 90 led by the bowling of skipper R. Knudson (5-11) and A. McDonald (4-19). Meanwhile down at Balmoral Castle, Crathie’s total (155) led by the batting of S. Poole (63no) and despite the bowling effort for 2nd Kintore from D. Vegas (5-31) proved too much to chase down for the struggling 2nd Kintore side as they were restricted by the Crathie bowling from W. Slee (4-12) and B. McAra (4-20) and were all dismissed for 70. At Duthie Park Caledonian’s low total (88) was easily overtaken by the 2nd Cults visitors. Across town at Harlow, Queens Cross’s total (112) was comfortably overtaken by the visiting Methlick side, with pick of the batting and bowling for Methlick from M. Woodhouse (40no) and S. Gurmett (4-11) respectively and batting and bowling for Queens Cross from Rory Taylor (39 and 3-30). The Burnett Park pitch at Banchory continues to be prone to flooding as another fixture; this time against Artisans is postponed.
