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.
