On a bitterly cold Friday evening there were no fewer than 3 Carlton junior sides in action.  At Goldenacre, the Under 13s had an overwhelming win over Heriot's in the Preliminary Round of the Scottish Cup, while just along the road our Under 11s lost out on the last ball to the Grange Stags in a league match.

There was also a big match at Grange Loan as the new Girls' hardball squad played their first ever game, against their visitors from Kinross.

The first part of the season came to an end on Saturday with Carlton consolidating their position at the head of their Scottish Cup Group following a 221 run win over Falkland. Fraser Watts and Preston Mommsen both hit tons, while Umair Mohammed collected a five wicket haul.

The Twos suffered a heavy defeat in Fife but there was a thrilling last wicket, last ball win for the young and old 4th XI, with 11 year old Ruairidh Main capturing the headlines.

Carlton Head Coach Toby Bailey has announced details of his summer cricket camps at Grange Loan. With a camp running each week of the main summer holidays there's something for everyone this year.

Toby and his team will be running week-long camps for both kwik cricket and T20 hardball. And there's also a choice between half-day and full-day camps. All camps are open to non-members.

A brilliant Michael Herdman spell, which saw the young left-arm seamer taker 5 for 6, was too much for Greenock as they were bundled out for 87 in their Scotish Cup match.

Rob Thornton led by example at Grange Loan as the Twos enjoyed a 100 run win over Musselburgh. Elsewhere, it was a case of great experience for the young batsmen of the Threes and Fours as they tested their skills in some bowler-friendly conditions.
