Unfortunately Stewartry ran into a Lanarkshire team who were right on top of their game, and with players really having to play for their places, gave a real lesson in positive bowling.

Stewartry despite having some key players missing had no excuses and all players acknowledge we were well beaten by an excellent team on the day.

Brian McClune almost managed a solitary win but even that was not to be on a day when nothing went right and anything that could go wrong did. At least there was no shortage of effort, but that didn’t cover the difference in skill on the day.

I believe in the group of players who have given what they have to this campaign and lets be positive and look to get a good finish with 2 wins.
