The Senior XI played out the last game of the 2026 season for the club when they lost by 17 runs to Mearns Senior XI at Bellahouston Sports Centre. And wouldn't you know it, the margin of defeat was the exact number of additional wides that the Greenock Senior bowlers conceded compared to their opponents.

The team got off to a great start when Dave Sharma reduced Mearns to 12 for 3 thanks to a spell of 3 for 5 in 7 overs. But Gupta's excellent 54 allowed Mearns to recover to 152 for 7 in their 35 overs. Greenock Seniors never really got in touch with their target despite knocks of 36 from David Thomson, 24 from Chris Hempsey and 20 from Shailesh Prabhu as the rest of the batting failed to cope with Lawrence's bowling as he finished with 5 for 22.

The 1st XI gained an excellent victory over Mearns by 6 wickets to maintain their place in Western Premiership Two for another season. Mearns batted first and got off to a quick start but gradually the bowlers reeled them in and they were eventually bowled out for 168 with Matthews, Calder and Stewart each taking 3 wickets.

The batsmen made good progress in reply, reaching 60 for 2 and 111 for 4 before an unbeaten 5th wicket partnership between captain Toby Matthews (52) and Cammy Calder (32) took their team to a deserved win and a successful end to the season. Peter Hempsey's final report of the season describes the game in which the team produced probably their best performance of the season to maintain their place in the league.

The Glenpark XI ended their season on a losing note, going down by 81 runs to Hamilton Crescent. The visitors amassed 220 for 5 wickets in their 40 overs and Glenpark never really threatened that total, being dismissed for 139. Rakesh Kumar with 36 and Prabhjot Singh with 29 were the team's leading scorers as the curtain came down on a tough season for the players.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Brian Lang, Honorary Vice-President and a long-standing and loyal member of the Club. In a 1st XI career spanning 1960 to 1976, Brian scored 4606 runs and took 117 catches. He captained the team for part of the 1970 season and again in 1973 and 1974. After his retirement, he maintained a keen interest in the Club and attended Glenpark when he could. His latter years were dogged with ill-health but he handled this with great fortitude and maintained his spirit to the very end. He truly was one of the good guys and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our sincere condolences go to Lynn and his family.

Members will be saddened to hear of the untimely death of Alan MacLean earlier today at the age of 66. Lucky Al, as he was known to everyone, was a long-standing member of the Club, joining the hockey section where he became a fearless goalkeeper. He was a great supporter of all the Club's activities stretching back over 40 years and will be sadly missed. Our sincere condolences go to his family and all who knew him.

The death has been announced at the age of 92 of Bill Dow, professional at the Club in the years from 1961 to 1963. He took 178 wickets at an average of 13.73 with a best of 7 for 31 and scored 898 runs at 17.96 with a highest score of 103* against Golfhill. According to Duncan Drummond, his powerful physique enabled him to bowl long spells, bowling medium paced off-breaks, although he had made his name at Clydesdale and Essex as a fast medium bowler and was capped 17 times for Scotland. He was also a powerful batsman, who liked to score quickly and his fielding was a joy to watch. He will be sadly missed, particularly in the west of Scotland.

Bill's funeral will be held at Glasgow Crematorium on Monday 27th July at 10.30am.

Members will be extremely sad to learn of the passing of Bill Lochhead, a long-standing member of the Club. Bill always showed a deep interest in the fortunes of the Club and its teams and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. A larger than life presence, he will remain long in the memory of all club members. Our deepest condolences go to Rona and all his family and friends.

The Club is sad to announce the passing of John (Barrel) McDougall at Ardgowan Hospice on 24th February. Barrel, as he was known to everyone, was a regular in the 2nd XI in the late 70s and early 80s and played a few games for the 1st XI in that time. He was a hard-hitting batsman, a good team-mate and great fun to be around. He will be sadly missed. Our condolences go to all his family and friends.

The Club is delighted to announce that its new online shop, in collaboration with VX3, is now open.
