Scorecard

Leinster v Malahide Cricket Club Taverners on Fri 22 Jul 2011 at 18.00
Malahide Cricket Club Won by 4 wickets

Match report With a lovely evening for cricket and a good wicket at the Leinster CC ground in Observatory Lane, Rathmines, we lost the toss and they decided to bat. Playing 15 x 8 ball overs, their openers got off to a slow start and with us just happy to keep the run-rate down some of their batsmen (and woman – Collette) retired early to give others a chance.

The big-hitters came in but by that time we still had some good bowlers left and we held them to 106. Not a high score but very defendable on this wicket. With our number 1 & 2 batsmen doing really in getting their 20s and although our 3 & 4 were out fairly cheaply, they had made a few quick runs and we were close to the run-rate needed.

The skipper came in making a quick 22 and Chris Smith making some good quick runs before being spectacularly caught at deep mid-wicket by Mick Smith – a reaction save - diving low and holding on (he used to be a goal keeper!). That left Harry Deegan and the in-coming Robbie Condron to get the last couple of runs in the last over, which they duly did. A great game that went down to the last few balls and could have gone either way, played in the the true spirit of Taverners! A good team effort – well done Malahide Tavs!

Afterwards we were treated to a lovely buffet in the club house and the only disturbing thing that happened on the evening was that Collette kept enquiring about the whereabouts of Pat Young!
