First Win on the Board ....

23 Apr 2018

... albeit a friendly between a select 3rd XI and Wexford Wanderers.

Wexford batted first and easily negotiated the opening bursts from old master Joey Jennings and the youth of Ben Askew. The bowling changes did the damage with Hamad Ali striking with his second ball and Inderjit taking two scalps in his first over. Conor Gibbons and Paul Agnibesh chipped in with two a piece and Wexford ended on a modest 145.

Malahide's replied hit an immediate problem with 3 down for 11. Paul steady the ship with 36 until he had to retire with a torn hamstring. Hamad hit a quick 20 but it was left to the experience and skill of Ronan (49*) and Malcolm (18*) to bring it home with 2 overs to spare.
