Malahide Cricket Club Womens 1st XI v Merrion 2 on Fri 27 Jul 2012 at 18:30
Malahide Cricket Club Won by 51 runs

Match report On a bright and noisey evening in the village Malahide Ladies 1sts won the toss and elected to bat. With lots of supporters and the future of the club looking on Skipper Shills 107 and Mary 43no opened the batting starting carefully on the new pitch going along at a run a ball for the 1st 6 overs. In the 7th over the Skipper decided it was time to put the foot down hitting a boundary off the 1st ball and a maximum off the 2nd on route to her 3rd ton of the season which she brought up with her 3rd six of the innings. Mary played a great run a ball supporting role seeing the innings through to the finish with Barbara 8no when Shills fell LBW to L Banahan in the 17th over. The home team posting a total of 169 off the 20 overs.
In response the visitors started well with L Banahan 29 & B Breslin 34 putting on 71 for the 1st wicket at over a run a ball. With a strong breeze blowing across the new ground making bowling a challenge Margaret again opened the bowling with some tight bowling in her 2 spells finishing with 6 1 20 1 and Fiona Gill 4 0 29 0 and Sorcha O'Carolan Murphy 6 0 30 1 supporting her well from the other end in difficult conditions against good batting from the visitors. The breakthrough came from Lynn 4 0 34 1 struggling to find her action managing to entice Lisa Banahan to chip one to the skipper at midwicket. Sorcha followed up quickly with Babs taking the catch to remove the Merrion number 3. After a few close calls and some excellent work by Mary behind the stumps Shillers managed to run out B Breslin the Merrion opener who was batting well. With both openers gone the balance of the game turned in favour of the home side and despite some good batting from R Delaney the home side closed out the game comfortably by 51 runs with Margaret picking up a well deserved wicket with the final ball of her spell. Thanks to Alan Quinn for umpiring and all the supporters who watched on. Another good win celebrated with some Bubbly in the clubhouse afterwards.
