The Arctic weather conditions continued as week 3 of the season bought the Grade 1 Inverurie visitors to the AGSFP’s city ground. The visitors total (120-9 off 46 overs) helped by the batting of G. Hadden who narrowly missed out on his half century (48) must have seemed very gettable but tight bowling from G. Coutts (4-11) and J. Jessiman (3-19) restricted the home side to 106 managing to winkle out the last wicket with 2 overs to spare. Over the wall, neighbours Queens Cross continued to look for their first win and were beaten by 12 runs as the Mannofield visitors with a good all round performance from C. Burnett (57 and 4-19) managed to remove the last wicket allowing Mannofield to leap into pole position. The big encounter of the day at the Links fizzled out into a draw with Cults setting a target 244 with batting performances from S. Devadas (83) and B. Vicky (38). Last years champions could only hold out for a draw despite the batting for Bon Accord from B. Veldsman (52) and F. Awan (52). Out at Gordon Park another draw of the day story, as the home team set a target of 247 with an excellent century by J. Barrett (118) which the visitors comfortably held out for a draw with the help of batting from J. Frost (62no) and S. Hasan (47). The Castle Road side entertained Stonehaven who comfortably reached the Kintore target (127) with ex-Kintore team mates doing most of the bowling damage D. Anderson (3-6) and R. Balsillie (2-19).

In Grade 2 Crathie are still looking for their first win as their total (112) restricted by the bowling from V. Bode (4-23) and D. Singh (3-27) was easily reached in 25 overs by the St. Ronald side helped by the batting from S. Rehan (39) and D. Miller (37no). Gordonians jumped into pole position as they continue with their winning streak by setting a total (259-2 off 42 overs) with batting performances from new boy C. Mouli (76) and P. Ballal (71no) which the Duthie Park visitors Caledonian found too big an ask, despite batting effort from A. Kash (43) who also took the only 2 Gordonians wickets. Over at Duthie Park, Methlick set a target (166) helped by the batting from M. Woodhouse (42) that proved not enough, as Anchorians bounced back from their defeat last week with notable batting from S. Kumar (59) and G. O’Brien (43) and with the bowling from skipper C. Forbes (5-30). Crescent visited Alan Park where the amalgamated Cults-Artisans side set a total (261-7 off 40 overs) with notable batting from E. Spearman (85), M. Sekar (62) and R. Munro (54no), which the visitors never looked to trouble as they were bowled out for 116. Out at Burnett Park the 2^nd Banchory total (134-7 off 46 overs), with batting performance from T. Wilkinson (46no) was not enough as the Fraserburgh visitors comfortably reached their target without loss with batting performances from N. Watson (53no) and C. Bowie (53no) supported with the bowling from A. Rennie (4-29).

In Grade 3 over at Mineralwell Park the 2^nd Queens Cross visitors were skittled out for 46 with most of the damage done by A. Gardener (5-9) which the 2^nd Stonehaven side comfortably reached with 9 wickets in hand. At a very blisteringly cold Sheddocksley 2^nd St. Ronald continued to support their ambition for another promotion as they bowled out the Dunecht visitors despite the batting from S. Roberts (45) for 98 with bowling efforts for 2^nd St. Ronald from N. Sood (5-28) supported by S. Bhatti (2-9). 2^nd Ellon visited the 2^nd Gordonians side, with most of the batsmen chipping in with runs and setting a total of 157-9 off 46 overs, which the home side comfortably reached with notable batting from N. Smith (47) and I. Selkirk (40). 2^nd Kintore visited neighbours 2^nd Methlick setting a total of 163-9 off 45 overs with batting performance from new boy D. Kancherla (74), being piped by Extras (76), proving too much for the home side despite the bowling efforts of J. Young (4-37) and J. Buchan (3-20) as they were bowled out for 131 with bowling for 2^nd Kintore from new boy S. Khartikeyam (4-33) supported by K. Abel (3-19) doing most of the damage for the visitors. At Duthie Park the 2^nd AGSFP visitors reasonable total of 191 for 6 with batting from P. Booth (76) was not enough despite bowling from M. Phillips (4-30) as the Academy home team comfortably reached their target with batting from S. Bedi (72) and good all round performance from A. Mateed (44 and 3-27).

In Grade 4 2^nd Dunecht slumped to 31 all out as the Portcullis side very comfortably reached the required runs without loss. Meanwhile at Bogbeth Park, Kemnay returned to winning ways as they set a total (122), aided by a good all round performance from new boy H. Marcelline (40 and 3-32), which the 3^rd Gordonians side were unable to reach despite the good all round performance from G. Macintyre (70 and 4-29). 2^nd Mannofield are still suffering from the overlap of the Rugby, Football and Cricket season and were unable to raise a team therefore conceding 30 points to Huntly Highlanders. The Turriff v Knightriders has been postponed due to a Turriff club function.
