A huge well done to 11 yr old George Cutler who opened the batting for our U16s yesterday in Moray Dev League v Gordonians. George batted for 29 overs, faced 80 balls & scored 23 runs. A fine example of concentration, resilience & not least fine batting skills. Great stuff George
What a fantastic turnout tonight despite the weather. We had around 90 children at Scroggie having fun including our brilliant All Stars group which got off to an absolute flier. Many thanks to all the coaches and parents for their support and encouragement.
