  23 January 2012 - 18:11:47
  Everyone is probably eagerly anticipating the release of fixtures for the Partick and Hamilton Crescent XIs. The latest news we have is that they should be out around mid-February.
  
  We are also looking to schedule some early season friendly matches in the lead up to the weekends of April 21st, when McCrea FS West XI have their first Cup match with Partick in action the following weekend in the Western Cup; now a Saturday competition to be played on roughly the same weekends as the Scottish Cup.

• Senior Fitness Training 2012
  08 January 2012 - 16:24:01
  Happy New Year to all members, I hope you've had an enjoyable festive period and are set for a great 2012.
  
  The following information is for any players who intend to play senior cricket at West in 2012. The indoor school will not be ready for full use until early February. It is our intention to begin indoor cricket practice around this time but until then we will be running fitness sessions. These will take place at Hamilton Crescent and the surrounding area. The first session will be on Tuesday 17th January starting at 6.30pm prompt until around 7.45pm. The sessions are likely to feature a road run in the surrounding area followed by some circuit work in the indoor school at Hamilton Crescent. Those who intend to come along should bring with them suitable footwear for outdoor and indoor, some clothing to keep them warm when resting and water to keep them hydrated. It would also be sensible to wear clothing that will be visible to road users in the dark (i.e. high visibility clothing).
  
  It would be great to see as many players as possible attend these sessions from any of the senior XI's to help blow off the cobwebs after our annual hibernation.

• Fantasy League 2011 - The Final Result
  20 December 2011 - 20:07:42
  At last night's AGM the result of the 2011 Fantasy League was announced. In a close run contest John Cameron finished the season on top and can now look forward to treating a lucky somebody to food and drink at Cottiers Restaurant on Hyndland Road and a bottle of champagne. Thanks must go to Stuart Beaufoy for his continued generosity in donating this prize to the club, such gestures ensure the fundraising potential of the fantasy league is maximised.
  
  I managed to finish in 2nd place, 60 points behind Cammy. In other significant results, 1st XI scorer Bobby Kettlewell silenced a number of critics by proving he is capable of selecting a better side than a host of current and previous captains. George Ralston finished below his wife for the second year in a row as did John Thomson (who continues to claim he picked Andrea's side anyway)!! The wooden spoon went to Barry Fitzgerald. This capped off a miserable cricketing comeback season for KFF after his dismissal to 'the ball of the century' in a staff v pupils match at HSOG.
  
  Thanks to all who participated, your support is vital. I am also grateful to Jat's and Jim for providing me with a platform to keep members informed of any updates. Hopefully I'll see you all again next season for the West of Scotland Cricket Club Fantasy League 2012.
  
  Full results below.
