Livingston Cricket Club’s under-13s fell just short of national success after they were beaten in the ECB Vitality Cup final by Carlton in Inverleith.The youngsters had made it to Finals Day and progressed after squeezing past Uddingston in the semi-final after defending 87 to grab the win.Carlton proved to be too strong, however, as Livi were unable to build on a decent start and fell to 55 all out in the final with the opposition reaching their target in just over five overs.The club’s senior men’s sides also performed well at the weekend with two wins from three fixtures as the First and Second XI both picked up victories.The First XI hosted Murrayfield DAFS in an East of Scotland Division One fixture and got off to a brilliant start with the bat before a late innings collapse.The opening four batters all tallied at least 30 runs with Ahmed Bilal leading the way with 53 as Livi raced to 149-2.However, Ahmed Ali’s dismissal for 30 sparked a run of six wickets falling for just 11 runs as the hosts were eventually all out for 175.The reply was much the same in that a solid start made way for a spate of wickets with Murrayfield sitting at 99-2 only to be skittled all out for 143 as Livi sealed a 32-run victory.Adnan Ali was impressive with the ball, taking 4-19 in 7.1 overs as the bowlers produced a fine effort with the win lifting them into fourth in the table.Livi’s Second XI travelled to face Murrayfield’s Third XI and produced a stunning display with the bat to seal a six-wicket triumph.The home side batted first and it was largely honours even with Murrayfield scoring 156-7 from their 40 overs.

Shrey Awasthi was in brilliant form with the ball, conceding just 14 runs in eight overs as well as picking up two wickets.I
