More strong batting from Merrion with half centuries from John Anderson [79] and Michael Lewis [56]. The total of 272 was always going to be a tough ask but when wickets fell early and runs were hard to come Pembroke never really got into the game. Three wickets for Niranjan Shankar [3/32] and a brace each for John Anderson [2/12] and Hugh Kennedy [2/18]. Merrion now qualify as top of Section B with a match in hand.
