Both teams only managed to bat 31 overs each in a 90 over game on the mat in the Lady Acre on a glorious Sunday.  Aussie Isabella Fitzgibbon 48 was steering the Rathmines outfit to victory until Indy Singh dismissed and finished off the tail. Vikas Gulati started the rot by removing the top order - 8 overs 4 for 32.  Vikas Purbiya picked up 2 wickets and Suhaib Naseem was unlucky with only 1 wicket for 30 in 6 overs of swing.  Batting first, the foundation was laid by Brian Gilmore 50 and Indy Singh 40.  However, wickets tumbled and 4's totalled a well below par score of 164.  Sean Drumm scored 16 and took 3 good catches behind the stumps. MCC win by 25 runs.
