D&G League updates

It was third time lucky, or not as was the case when Dumfries ladies travelled to top of the table Dalbeattie. With their previous 2 matches postponed due to weather and injury Dumfries ladies were glad to get a match in, however Dalbeattie ladies were not in a charitable mode. Dalbeattie used home advantage to take a tight match 3-1. In the gents league both Dumfries B and C lost home matches 1-3 to Stewartry CSC and Beechgrove respectfully.

Dumfries march on as rain cancels matches

Posted on by

The rain wiped out most of the fixtures on Wednesday 29th with only the 2 matches at Dumfries going ahead. Courts were damp and a heavy rain shower broke play up for 15 minutes, however Dumfries A secured a victory against their plucky neighbours Dumfries C. The first two matches were tight with the C team having a slight glimmer of hope but the experience and young Alex Shearman proved to strong and eventually took the match 4-0. In the other match an unlucky Kirkcudbright again landed in Dumfries on a damp and cold day to take on Dumfries B. The home team secured a 4-0 victory but Kirkcudbright showed their progress with 2 tight matches against a young and energetic B team.
