LEINSTER SENIOR CRICKET: CAREER BATTING MILESTONES FOR 2025

For those participating in Open Competitions in Leinster at the most senior level there are two critical batting milestones. Passing the 5,000 run threshold means inclusion on the Leinster Senior [Batting] Career Batting Averages, which dates back to the start of the Leinster Senior League in 1919. The qualifying competitions are the Leinster Senior Leagues [Premiership and Championship] and the Leinster Senior Cup.

At the start of 2025 there are 96 players [out of 5,848 who have played at this level] who have scored 5,000 runs or more [see table below] and four players who competed in 2024 who have scored over 4,000. Closest to the threshold is Max Sorensen [Merrion and The Hills] who needs just 38 runs to reach the 5,000 mark. Other are a little further away. Joey Carroll [Leinster, The Hills and Phoenix] requires another 601 runs, Stephen Doheny [Merrion and Rush] 693 runs and Cormac  McLoughlin-Gavin [Malahide, North County and The Hills] has most to do with 818 runs.

There is a second, and more exalted milestone, and that is reach the 10,000 run mark which only 13 players have achieved in over 100 years. John Anderson [Merrion and Railway Union] needs just 223 runs to achieve this mark.
