FPs were confirmed as Grade 2 champions after the washout at Methlick but had hoped for better in the latest game against Banchory which resulted in a loss by 49 runs. restricting Banchory to 202 for 5 had FPs well placed and at drinks FPs were 79 for 2 but quick wickets thanks to some fine Sam Rotherham bowling meant Banchory ran out comfortable winners.

Rob Swiergon made an unbeaten 86
FPs turned in a near faultless home performance as they beat AberGreen by 157 runs, in a win that puts the Rubislaw side on the brink of promotion. A quick-fire 55 from Alex Keith set the tone for the innings before Rob Swiergon hit a swashbuckling 86 not out, Grammar finishing on 303/8. Aware that they were unlikely to chase down the huge target set, AberGreen went in search of batting points and played a sensible game, finishing on 146 all out, with the 10th wicket falling in the final over.
