Scotland U15 boys team defeated Lincolnshire on Tuesday thanks to an inspired bowling spell from Bahadar Esakhiel who took six wickets.

As the busy spell of pathways cricket continues the U15s under the leadership of head coach Alan Patterson, lost on Monday, but bounced back 24 hours later.

Clydesdale’s Esakhiel was the pick of the bowlers as Lincolnshire were bowled out for 95 and then Scotland battled hard to get home by three wickets.

Next week the team will take on Durham.

Also on Tuesday the Scotland Women’s Performance Academy were in action in Ireland and defeated their Performance Academy counterparts by one wicket after a thrilling contest.

The hosts scored 251 all out batting first and, thanks in part to a magnificent 127 from Sarah Bryce, Scotland chased their total with nine wickets down.

To kick of a busy weekend the Western Warriors U14 boys were in action on Friday against the Scotland Women’s Performance Academy.

Batting first at Clackmannanshire, the Women’s Performance Academy were put under pressure by the youngsters, but managed to get themselves up and over three figures in their 20 overs.

In the end the total was 107-9 and then their bowlers did a good job to restrict the Warriors to 101-4 to give the Performance Academy a win by six runs.

On Sunday the three U16 girls regional teams – the Eastern Knights, the Western Warriors and the Caledonian Highlanders – were at Livingston for a T20 day.

In the first match, captain Anne Sturgess from Clydesdale hit a brilliant 62 not out as the Warriors made 113-6 from their 20 overs.

However, three batters made it over 20 for the Knights and they were helped by 31 extras as they went on to win by five wickets.

In the second match the Warriors were once again asked to bat first and made 104-5 from their 20 overs against the Highlanders this time.

Some tight bowling and good fielding by the Warriors then restricted their opponents to 80-7 to hand them a 24 run win.

Sadly game three between the Knights and the Highlanders was abandoned due to the poor weather.
