A wee stumble for the Mighty DCC

DCC Stumble……. Well after a rich vein of form Marcus thought he would desert the team and take a wee trip skiing! Trying to impress the boys were well behaved and everyone had a quiet Saturday evening, in hindsight this was probably the main issue for the lack lustre batting performance. Buck opened with Fox…

DCC – Dollar Conquer County!!

We’re on a roll!  2 wins from 2 games!  I’ve now equaled the number of defeats as DCC captain with the number of victories! This week our opponents were Stirling County who after the first game were sitting top of the league after thrashing Callander the previous week and scoring the maximum batting and bowling…

Marcus gets it up the Clacks!

Skippers Quip’s

It’s hard to imagine we have now had four indoor nets sessions at the Academy!  Yes the DCC season preparations are well underway, much to the delight of Andrew and Sharon McKnight, our loyal sponsors at the Kings Seat, who have undoubtedly seen their sales in Tennants, BnT and Flaming Hot Monster Munch increase over…

Season End Doesn’t Spare Tinsley’s Blushes!

Well all too soon the DCC Summer season has come to an end. Quite fittingly it was the ODI Tour to Headingly that completed the season as the Crathie game was abandoned due to bad weather. Tails of the Tour as still a little sketchy but a few points must be noted. The DICVD Trophy…

The Glasgow’s make their “Mark” at Gargunnock

Well Sunday arrived and we all waited patiently for the text informing us that the game would be cancelled. To nearly everyone’s surprise the text never arrived, so at 11.45am we set off for the beautiful ground at Gargunnock. Our hosts were very confident that the game could go ahead, as they had not had…

“Stats-gate” Update

Gentleman of the DCC, it is with a heavy heart and a slight smirk that I address you tonight. After a thorough and lengthy investigation undertaken by myself whilst watching “Cool Runnings” (Something it appears Mr Syme and Mr Douglas haven’t been doing!) I now have the pleasure of issuing the indisputably correct current 2013…

DCC calls for “Stats-gate” scandal investigation

It has been brought to the attention of the Chairman and Committee at the DCC that a number of players are now playing for their “Stats” and not necessarily the team. A heady and somewhat disturbing allegation! Therefore I have taken it upon myself to review this seasons “Stats” in full, starting from the first…

DCC feast at the Kinross Larder

After a heavy downpour in Dollar at about 11am on Sunday morning I feared the worst that the game would be called off and I’d be spending the afternoon decorating the lounge!  I received a text at 11:30 and my heart immediately sank as I reached for the paintbrush.  Fortunately for me it was an…
