Monday 18 June 2012

Rookie seamer Scott McElnea was the hero on his home turf yesterday as Western Warriors crushed Eastern Knights to lift the Cricket Scotland Regional Series crown.

The Ayr youngster snapped up three quick wickets as the visitors were dismissed for 126 at Cambusdoon.

Majid Haq (46 not out) and Calum MacLeod (36) had been Western's stand-out batsmen in the tricky conditions as they reached 201 for eight.

But McElnea's triple burst prevented the Knights from threatening to reach that target. The only resistance came from Ryan Flannigan, Stuart Chalmers and Simon Smith, who all made it into the 20s. Meanwhile, Saturday's cricket was a complete washout with all 16 CSL fixtures called off. The league season reaches the halfway stage next Saturday with more than a third of scheduled fixtures having already been lost to the weather.
