When Paul Reynolds previewed LCU Division 3 for 2016 he highlighted Clontarf 2nd XI as the most likely winners of the League this year , so on paper playing the favourites in Castle Avenue was the toughest possible start for Malahide 2nd XI. However, having won the toss, the visitors proceeded to tear through a very strong Tarf batting line up thanks to an excellent display of pace bowling from Joe Jennings (5 for 22) and Cameron Shoebridge (4 for 31 - all bowled) . Finishing on 102 all out , Clontarf were never really in the game and with the help of a quick fire 29 ( including 6 boundaries) from Dickie Wing, Malahide reached the target with more than 20 overs to spare.
