It was a day of few real surprises in Grade 1 on Saturday as Cults, Bon Accord, Ellon, Stonehaven and Kintore all recorded easy wins over teams from the lower half of the table, Bon Accord's win at Rubislaw pushing the home side ever closer to relegation.

The Grade Select once again came up against their annual nemesis as for a third successive year they were dismissed from the Three Counties cricket Cup in Tuesday night's second round game played at Huntly. None of the Select's batsmen topped 25 as they were dismissed for 106, a score easily overhauled by the home side for the loss of only three wickets.

Cults' hopes of regaining the Grade 1 title were further strengthend at the weekend as they completed the double over Kintore, while Banchory added third-placed Stonehaven's scalps to their earlier defeats of Bon Accord and Kintore. At the foot of the table meanwhile Artisans' and Grammar FPs' expectations of relegation increased as both suffered heavy defeats, and Inverurie's game versus Mannofield was brought to a premature end by heavy rain at the tea interval. In Grade 2 St Ronald were held to a draw by Methlick, while 2nd Cults' hopes of joining their seniors in the top division were increased following their win over Queens Cross. With Gordonians also defeating Kemnay, the result at Harlaw also pushed the home club back towards the relegation zone, while Academy's hopes of promotion received a knock against Crescent for whom S.

The heavy rain means that all games yesterday bar one were void. The exception was in Grade 4 where 2nd Dunecht had already scratched to 2nd Methlick earlier in the week, which therefore counts as a walkover to the Grade 4 leaders. Kemnay’s re-arranged Sunday game v St Ronald is also off.

An excellent return of seven wickets for 22 from Banchory spinner Tim Wilkinson, backed up by a half century from Wajaheed Ali saw Banchory do a favour to league leaders Cults by beating second-place Bon Accord at the Burnett Park on Saturday. At the foot of the table meanwhile victories for Stonehaven and Mannofield see Artisans and Grammar FPs ever more firmly pinned in the two relegation spots. MrPurple Jun 11 2007 - 11:00am

First blood in the clash between the top two sides in the Grades at the weekend went to Cults at the weekend, as they had slightly the better of Saturday's drawn Grade 1 game at the Allan Park. With 43 from Amol Saxena and 42 from Graeme Gillanders, the home side were dismissed for 184 in the 44th overs, T Malik taking three for 40 and Fazal Awan three for 46. However, despite an innings of 86 from Nawaz Mirza the Bons in the end had to settle for a draw, as Narendra and Masood took six wickets between them.

Something has gone horribly wrong with the online grade 4 fixtures list, and all the weekends show the same fixtures from this weekend onward. Clearly that isn't right. I'll fix it as soon as I can, but in the mean time use the fixtures list shown here. Edit 25 May 07: Grade 4 Fixtures have been corrected.

Although perhaps unlikely to win the title themselves, Stonehaven once again showed at the weekend that they could again have a significant say in the destination of this year's Grade 1 title as they brought Ellon's previously-unblemished record to an end, beating them by four wickets at the Gordon Park, to leave Bon Accord and Cults once again locked at the top of the table as the only two sides still with maximum points following the first month of the season.

 The Grades umpires have received a boost this season with a sponsorship deal with The Kebab House, Tillydrone. This will hopefully encourage more ex-cricketers to pull on the white coats in the future.Brand new umpires coats, suitably engraved with the sponsors name, are to be provided to all of our neutral umpires. Thanks are due to to the tireless behind the scenes negotiations of Bon Accord captain, Malik, for securing this deal with The Kebab House. MrPurple May 14 2007 - 7:17pm

An unbroken opening partnership of 265 for Inverurie, featuring centuries from George Hadden and Mark Strachan, proved insufficient to stave off a remarkable two-wicket defeat by Mannofield, as the runs flowed in Saturday's Grade 1 game at the Links. Elsewhere Cults shot out Kintore for just 59 at Castle Park, but needed an undefeated 28 from Bryan Alexander to overcome the home side; while Bon Accord and Ellon also remain on maximum points following their victories over Artisans and Grammar FPs respectively.

Basically, when we advised that the standard ball was "dukes special crown" we did not realise that it came in so many flavours and that one or two clubs were opting for the lower standard balls. This was further highlighted when we were informed at the AGM that the ball could be purchased a lot cheaper than Thistle Sports, and after investigation we found that the ball supplied by Thistle Sports was of a much higher standard also the retail cost was £20+ per ball which Thistle were supplying for £12.50 + £1. wytbu8 May 3 2007 - 1:08pm

2nd Methlick's joy at starting the season with a win was dampened by the discovery that valuables had been stolen from their dressing room at Rubislaw while the match was in progress. Five players lost items, including a mobile phone and a wallet containing a credit card. The card had £700 worth of fraudulent transactions made on it before the match had even finished. "We in no way hold Grammar responsible", said Methlick secretary Brian Anderson. "The first thing their boys told us was 'Do not leave any valuables in the locker room'. There are also signs informing you of the same thing, but alas the players arriving last did not see them and were in too much of a hurry to put their valuables back in their cars". He went on to warn other clubs to take care in the future. "This was our own stupidity, but we would not like to see any other clubs or players lose out in such a manner".
