And so to the season finale... Ones again in a must-win position to have any chance of survival. We won, in a slightly odd manner as Heriot's conceded on the 30 over (result) mark - just as the rain stops -  with us 20 runs away from victory target of 100 but with 6 wickets in hand. We care not and bank the priceless 20 points, and with news of Boroughmuir's capitulation at Largo reaching us, we head to Myreside to see how our old chums/foes Holy Cross were faring against a strong Watsons 2s side, chasing 227. Not well, and it got rapidly worse in front of our eyes in the gloom as Holy Cross fall well short. And so Watsons and Largo keep their heads above ours and despite our late great rally its too little too late and  so we find ourselves finishing in the drop zone. There is one final chance, Fauldhouse won the league by the skin of their teeth and play Kelburne in a play-off for promotion to the SNCL. If Fauldhouse win, we are saved as only one team will drop. Fingers crossed for DJ and all at FVCC - the play-off now postponed to Sat 12 Sept at Stirling.

Elsewhere... top marks for Danny and Sherri as they both sign off with centuries. Danny hit 4 huge sixes in his 106 as the Twos ended up on 229-9 off 50 overs, with Adeel with an unbeaten 25 being the next best individual score. The bowlers restricted Preston Village for 175-6 off their 50 overs with 3 wickets taken by Anand. 3s defeated Heriots 3s and poor old 4s endured a trip to Fife to look at a flooded pitch.

And so to the Sat eve... end of season pish-up and farewell to Phil and Cath at Berts... and later on at the Rat Pack Piano Bar. Suffice to say all had a jolly good time and a great send off for Mr and Mrs Claypole. Some piccies will be posted soon!

Thanks to all for their great efforts this year - most of you we will see next year all bright eyed and bushy tailed at indoor nets no doubt if not before (curry nights, socials, the Muftas etc etc) ... for those who are returning abroad then we bid you a fond farewell and I hope you take some great memories of us Muffers with you!
