Merrion secured a five wicket victory in a high scoring game over CSNI at Anglesea Rd.
Despite heavy rain on Friday and a damp square on Saturday morning, great work by the grounds-staff ensured that the match got started in excellent conditions by 1.30 with only five overs lost. CSNI batted first and despite a slow start went on to plunder 115 runs in the last ten overs to reach a score of 252/6.
When it was Merrion's turn two early innings set the innings back but an aggressive 93 from Tim Lang set the foundation for victory. At the other end a perfectly paced innings by John Anderson [110*] saw Merrion home with an over to spare.
A big crowd, lots of runs and a home victory.
