A very accomplished YMCA U13 team won the Watkins Cup [U13] last night at Clarement Road and now go on to compete in the All ireland U13 Finals. Batting first Leinster were held in check by a strong bowling attack and some excellent fielding. Some late hitting and adventurous running brought the score up to 74 but it never felt like it was enough.
When YMCA came to bat the Leinster bowling kept them in check for over 10 overs and the chance of an upset was on the cards. But some strong batting from Player of the Match Harry Tector saw them comfortably home.
