U15A's spin to victory over league favourites

21 Jul 2014

The U15's produced a superb performance to snatch victory against a very strong Leinster side who were the pre season favourites for the U15A League. Chasing Malahide's 173 for 8 in 35 overs, Leinster looked to be in the box seat at 162 for 7 with 5 overs remaining but Riley Shoebridge bowled the remaining 3 batsmen  taking 3 for 2 in his last 2 overs to take Malahide to a 9 run victory.  Apart from a run out all the wickets fell to the spin attack with "leggie" Ryan Condron, "offie" Zak Woods-Oliver and slow left armer Riley each taking 3 wickets. Malahide's total of 173 was based around a hard hitting 53 from Sean Drumm (10 boundaries), 48 from Alex Davies and 35 from David O'Halloran but this was a great team effort from all the lads with everyone making a contribution.

Team : Alex Davies, Riley Shoebridge, David O'Halloran, Sean Drumm, Ryan Condron, Jacob Whelan, Zak Woods-Oliver, Paul Devine, Cormac Burke, Killian Burke, John Burke.
