The Leinster Senior batting statistics are compiled by Gerry Byrne each year. The career batting statistics going back to 1919 show that there are 62 players who have scored more than 5,000 runs [ave. 22]. Top of the list [and never likely to be over taken] is Ginger O'Brien [Railway] with over 21,000 runs. Second is David Pigot [Phoenix] but capable of overtaking him this year is Alan Lewis from YMCA. Brian O'Rourke is the only current player that is within striking distance of the elusive 10,000 runs figure in 2012.
