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.

FPs collected another 30 points in a comfortable 6 wicket win against bogey team Artisans. John Eagles did the bulk of the damage claiming 5 for 26 in a fine bowling spell. Knudson once again won the toss and asked Artisans to bat. FPs made 3 changes from last week with Stuart, Phillips and Clelland replacing Whyte, James Lord and McDonald.

Last week’s close defeat against promotion favourites Banchory meant that the last game of the season against Stoneywood-Dyce would decide which of the two teams would finish bottom of Grade 3.
There were two changes to the team, out through injury went James Lord, and Edinburgh based Pradeep was spared the trip to Aberdeen as in came Rory Annand, and due to make his debut was Kevin Warner. Unfortunately Warner was a very, very late call off, and had it not been for a B&Q non-delivery of a fence for Geoff Morrison, we would have been one man short.

Following last week’s magnificent victory against Turriff, there were only two changes for the vital game against Banchory 2nd XI at Rubislaw. Both teams desperately needed the 30 points for the win, Grammar to help avoid relegation, and Banchory to help gain promotion.
Sam Knudson was unavailable due to rugby friendlies, not relegation battles, just friendlies. But to replace him in the team from the firsts came all rounder James Lord. To ensure we had eleven this week, we had to send for one of our Edinburgh squad members, Pradeep.
