FPs were denied a seemingly certain victory as heavy rain washed out the FP innings while only chasing a victory target of 64. Despite both sides attempting to make the best of the conditions, it was clear by4pm that there was no chance of the game being completed and the captains had no alternative but to call the game off.

The Second XI’s opening away match this season was at the Duthie Park against Portcullis. Our large squad fluctuated from ten available on Friday morning to thirteen by Saturday lunchtime. Eventually there were four changes from the washed out opening match, Mutu was unavailable, Phillips had work commitments, Houghton was hospitalised with hopefully a non-Mexican strain of chickenpox, and Blyth was planning his forthcoming wedding.
FP’s had two debutants, Kamran and Raam, Mike Hart made his annual comeback and Raj travelled up from Edinburgh to help us out again.

The 2009 Grade 4 season began with a washout when the opening fixture against Stoneywood-Dyce was abandoned after 34.4 overs at Rubislaw due to rain.
FPs made a strong start to the new season as they brushed aside Fraserburgh in a 7 wicket win. Miller, Moir and Eagles were all in fine bowling form, sharing 8 wickets, with debutant Whyte claiming 3 catches and stand in keeper Morrison grabbing 5 dismissals.
