The Leinster Lightning selectors have the pleasure in announcing the following squad for the first Hanley Energy Inter-Provincial match of 2015, a T20 game away to The Northern Knights in Stormont on Friday the 1st May.
John Mooney – Captain (North County); John Anderson - Vice Captain (Merrion); Yaqoob Ali (YMCA); Kenny Carroll (Railway Union); Eoghan Delany (Clontarf); Tyrone Kane (Merrion); Fintan McAllister (Malahide); Kevin O’Brien (Railway Union); Andrew Poynter (Clontarf); Eddie Richardson (North County); Max Sorensen (The Hills); Fiachra Tucker (Pembroke).
The Lightning squad sees debuts’ for Eoghan Delaney and Fiachra Tucker, rewarding their consistently strong performances for their clubs in recent seasons.
After the disappointment of losing out on the T20 title last year, our home games having been washed out, the Lightning are determined to regain the trophy we won in 2013. The competition’s format has been tweaked this year and sees each team competing against the other two teams both home and away, rather than each union hosting one T20 day as in the past.
Hours of Play: 1st Innings: 4:30pm-5:55pm; Interval: 5:55pm-6:15pm; 2nd Innings: 6:15pm-7:35pm. Admission is free.
