Tranent and Preston Village Cricket Club

On Thursday the East Lothian League got underway for Tranent 4th XI with a youthful squad heading down the A1 to Dunbar. Captain Mark Anderson had opted for an inexperienced squad which included 7 league debutants but perhaps more importantly contained 5 Tranent Titans players.

The game was played under the new 2014 rules which saw all overs being bowled from the same end and wides and no-balls not being bowled again but harbouring a 2 run penalty.

Tranent batted first and scored an impressive 93 with runs being contributed throughout. In reply Dunbar, also playing a smattering of youth players closed the game out with 3 overs remaining. Of our Titan players Douglas and Gregor Brunton both collected debut bowled wickets and our girls Ellis and Katie also collected debut wickets by stumpings.

Next Thursday Tranent 4th XI will host Bass Rock at the TCG.
