Since the last edition of the Divison 2 round up and averages, there has only been one round of matches - those that were played on July 11th.
If you are needing your memory refreshed, those three matches saw Phoenix beat Rush by 116 runs (with Samuel Anderson scoring 120); Leinster beat Balbriggan by 130 runs (Leinster's Joe Carroll scoring 94 and 5-39); and The Hills maintaining top spot after a three wicket win over Terenure (Ben Speake scored 81 for Terenure and Tomas Rooney Murphy took 5-45 and 34* for The Hills).
Last weekend, all three matches were rained off, and will be refixed shortly.
Highest Batting average in Division 2 - (current qualification - 150 runs)
Anderson's 100, coupled with a failure for Pretorious mean that the two swap places at the top However, both are ineligible for the trophy, and Rush's Stephen Doheny is the new leader. The 17 year old has had a great season so far, and sneaks past the qualification mark, with innings of 45, 85 and 22.
However, with the qualification likley to move upwards sooner rather than later, he may need to score runs this weekend.
