irvine traveled to the capital to fulfill the Scottish trophy fixture, heavy rain in edinburgh made the pitch unplayable, as a result was needed the match was to decided by a bowl out ( penalty shoot in footballing terms- each team nominates 5 bowlers- each to bowl 2 balls at open wicket). irvine started the bowl out with coach Drew Parsons who was as accurate as ever ripping the off stump twice in as as many balls giving irvine 100% start, murrayfied did them self no favors when their opening bowler was way off target. leading 2-0 after the first round it was the irvine's pro turn to extend the lead but missed the stumps narrowly both the time and murrayfield managed what was to be their only wicket of the bowl out. Derrick Neil was next missing one and hitting one, with Irvine leading 3-1 Ewan Morrison was next and bowled two great deliveries knocking the wickets both times giving Irvine an unassailable 5-1 lead and when the next murrayfield bowler missed there were scenes of jubilation in the irvine camp. Mike Ingram completed the bowl out hitting one and missing the other.
Irvine won 6-1 making the 150mile round trip worthwhile.
In the weeks other matches 1st XI traveled to dumfries to play StMichaels but the match was called off with out a ball being bowled.
2nd XI traveled to glasgow to play whiteinch, mike won the toss again for the... (sorry mike lost count) and put the opposition into bat, white inch were 70/3 in 20 overs when play had to be abandoned due to heavy rain.
