Ally is bowled over at Glenpark
Print Article
NEWLY re-formed Kilmacolm Cricket Club met Greenock Cricket Club 3rd XI last week at Glenpark with none other than Rangers legend Ally McCoist in their line-up.
Alistair was literally bowled over by the welcome from the Glenpark faithful, Celtic fan Stephen Wylie’s wiles tempting him to nick a delivery to the wicketkeeper Gordon McQuat, having scored 10.
On a damp and challenging wicket, Kilmacolm scored 83 runs in the 18-over game.
The 15 minutes of celebration at this wicket eventually died down, John Kirk returning the best bowling figures with four wickets for 12.
In reply, Greenock scored 84 with two overs to spare. Opening batsman Gordon McQuat, Kevin Flack and John McGlynn top scored.
Confident Dom
DOMINIC Shimmin is not too suprised at the good start he has had in Scottish football since signing for Morton at the start of the season.
Please let us play
GREENOCK boss Stevie Mooney is desperate for tomorrow’s match at Wishaw to go ahead.
Successive call-offs in the past few weeks mean the last competitive action for his team was way back on 13 December. In a cruel twist of fate, young midfielder Jason McLaughlin looks like being out for several weeks.
Port Glasgow have no injury worries
WITH the winter freeze looking like loosening its grip, for the time being at least, Port Glasgow are set to return to action tomorrow.
Recent postponements have thwarted the Port in their bid to maintain their three-game winning run. The frosty conditions also led to the cancellation of Monday night’s training session.
But the squad finally met up at St Stephen’s High School on Wednesday to plan for tomorrow’s game against Kilsyth Rangers at Ravenscraig. There was good news for manager Craig Brown, with no injury worries to contend with ahead of the match.

Away form is the key now
TURNING narrow away defeats into draws or wins will be the key to how successful Morton are this season, says boss Davie Irons.
Irons angry at critics of Dom
