With east central Scotland enveloped in rain from Saturday morning to Sunday evening there was never any chance of cricket action, so it was no surprise that the matches for all 5 Carlton XIs were called off without a ball being bowled.

At least there was some cricket played on Thursday evening, with an Alex Fedenczuk led Carlton XI hosting visitors from New South Wales while the Carlton Under 18s played a friendly match at Grange.

There was no shortage of tight finishes across the matches involving Carlton sides at the weekend but unfortunately none of the Grange Loan XIs came out on top.

Carlton fought all the way at Arbroath but their total of 144 proved just too little to defend. The Twos lost out in a last over nailbiter at Grange Loan, as did the Threes the following day. The Fours just failed to defend a decent total at Melrose, losing out by three wickets, while the youthful Fives also lost out.
