Finally getting to Saturday’s matches.
There was good coverage of the first full round of D1 and D2 matches of Saturday with all games being updated on the RSA [Live Scores] Match Centre [though some were more active than others]. Seven of the matches have the full result and full scorecard up [the only one missing is Phoenix v YMCA]
Of the other 10 games in OC there were updates on the MC on only four. Fortunately things got better on the Sunday. Scorecards were submitted for North Kildare v Longford which recorded Longford’s first win in the league
Match Report: Longford bounce back from loss against Merrion previous week to secure a comfortable 113 run win against North Kildare II. Batting first Longford got 203 and then bowled NK out for 90
There was also a scorecard for YMCA 4 against Swords which was won by YMCA by 33 runs with H Tector [yes there are more of them] getting 77*.
There were no updates or results for:
D14 Adamstown 3 v Merrion 7
D7 Bagenalstown v Wexford

Top score of the day [and of the weekend] was John Anderson of Merrion with 118 in D1 game against Leinster, closely followed by E Ahmed 117 for Terenure in D2 game against Rush. Mention also of E Richardson’s 80* for North County against Pembroke, T Kane’s 83 for Merrion [both in D1] and I Iqbal [87] for Rush [D2]. Three players got 4W – B Azhar for Leinster [4/50], S McDonald for Merrion 2 [4/15] and Y Ali for YMCA [4/10].
