Our under 11s travelled to Prestonpans having been unbeaten this season, to face East Lothian on monday evening but unfortunately lost by 33 runs. The defeat probably had more to do with the cold conditions than the individual performances. The best bowling figures were achieved by Fraser, Robert and Duncan. Unfortunately the batting performance wasn't strong enough despite a good early start  mainly through extras. This wasn't sustained and the team struggled to connect with many shots and Livingston lost too many wickets, particularly to the East Lothian final bowlers. The next fixture is at home against SMRH, hopefully played in a temperature above 0 degrees!

The Under 13's do not have a game until this sunday when they also play SMRH, but this time away.

The Kwik cricket team travelled to Stirling for the annual John Cooper trophy with a squad of 12 players. Despite winning two group games in style by beating Doune and Stirling, the team lost to Perth and failed to qualify for the semi final. They did proceed to play a friendly against Forth Valley Girls losing this match narrowly by 5 runs. A fifth game was also arranged at the end of the day as the 12 boys split into two teams and added in a sprinkling of Fathers who are probably now all nursing injuries after too much exertion! The travelling support was larger than ever this week with the addition of a few grandparents and a couple of dogs. The star performances this week were Lewis and Adit as a batting pair when they put on 26 in 2 overs against Doune almost matching Doune's total. Harris and Hamza made good debuts and Marc continues to bowl well and was close to a hat trick against Stirling. Hamish and Robert also put in good bowling performances giving away very few runs across the day. The tournament was well organised, the weather was great and the boys all received a medal or autograph bat as a momento of the day. Next week the squad move to the Carlton festival in Edinburgh.
