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.
