Promotion hopes still alive
At Dunnikier Park
Saturday 4th August
East League Division 3 Dunnikier kept their promotion hopes alive by completing a league double over near neighbours Townhill at Dunnikier Park on Saturday. The relegation-doomed visitors suffered another heavy defeat as some tight bowling and sober batting, from Brian Cutter (63*) and Greg Skene (28*), saw Dunnikier home by 7 wickets. Captain Drysdale was forced to make 4 changes from the previous week but after winning the toss and inserting the visitors, stand-in opening bowler Bilal Mahmood stepped up to the plate to bowl 10 overs straight through, only conceding 8 runs; and with Drysdale as meagre as ever at the other end, both batsmen didn’t know where the next runs were coming from. |

Demolition job sees visitors humiliated
At Dunnikier Park
Saturday 28th July
East League Division 3 As cricket matches go, this game came very high on the list of many of Dunnikier's longest serving members as the shortest game they had ever participated in. At 1:10pm SMRH opener Coltherd took guard after home skipper Drysdale invited the visitors to bat on a soft but drying wicket, less than 2 hours later at 3:02pm, Dunnikiers opening batsmen Braid and Cutter had won the game, a ten-wicket victory, with much bemusement amongst the players. |

Simple errors are Dunnikier's downfall
At The Tryst
Saturday 21st July
East League Div.3
Dunnikier travelled west on Saturday to play only their sixth game of the season, conditions were dark and cold with some rain in the air and only a few points separated the teams in a tight league. With Dunnikier winning the toss they invited the hosts to bat first on a very green wicket, and it took Sorrell only 3 balls to hit the timbers and send Cotterell back for a duck - 10 balls later he produced a late in-swinging yorker to dismiss Duncan and leave Stenny at 8-2.

Clinical bowling display reaps rewards
At Townhill Park
Saturday 2nd June
East League Division 3 For the second season running Dunnikier inflicted a 10-wicket victory over their rivals from the west of Fife. The manner of defeat for Townhill was somewhat humiliating as they could only muster a paltry 34 all out in 27.3 overs. The day began with Dunnikier skipper Drysdale winning the toss and inserting the hosts on a truly awful wicket and it only took Sorrell 4 balls to claim the first of his 3 wickets by bowling B. Pringle for no-score. |
