Kelso travelled to St Michael's in the Scottish Challenge Cup with a younger looking side than usual on Sunday, writes Greg Davidson.

St Michael's batted first on a very good pitch.

The opening batsmen for St Michael's got off to a solid start and the captain scored a well-constructed half century.

Kelso bowlers pinned St Michael's back through the middle overs and this resulted in wickets.

Youngster Murray Mason took 2-20 which were his first wickets for the Kelso firsts, including the wicket of the South African overseas.

Ben Grindell and Michael Eckard were very economical and picked up two wickets a piece.

The pick of the bowlers was Tom Grindell picking up 4-35 and taking wickets at vital times.

Kelso's great bowling and fielding display ended with St Michael's all out for 130 from 34 overs.

Kelso went into bat and a solid opening partnership of 53 by Greg Davidson (34) and Tom Grindell (12) built the platform nicely for Sammy McMahon (47*) and Michael Eckard (23*) to finish off the game with eight overs to spare in what was a great display of positive batting.

Kelso will now play their quarter final tie at home.
