I am looking for club team photos to scan to the club website but also to try to get some more recent photos framed for the team room.  If you have a decent quality photo from the recent past, please let me know.

Hi All

I only ever do a write up when we have a win so I should point out that we did play Merrion last week in Merrion. We made 123 for 3 wickets with Selena Tainton getting a lovely 63 runs. Merrion got 127 for 1 off 13.

On Monday we played Merrion again, but a different result! Batting first again we made 115 for 6 wickets. Selena made 24 runs, Marguerite Burke made 36 not out and Laura Erskine 16.

We went out to field with low spirits but that changed quickly with lovely bowling from Selena and Gladys Shaw. There was a quick realisation that we were in with a chance and the whole team got behind every ball. Selena got 3 wickets for 13 runs off 5 overs as well as a crucial catch at deep square leg! Gladys bowled a steady 5 overs only giving them 21 runs. Cecily McGeer got 1 wicket for 37 off 5 and Olivia Golden got 5 for 25 off 5.

Catches were taken by Annette McKeon, Olivia, Selena and two for Fiona Dowling. This win was really important for the team and a real credit to all the girls. We are looking forward to our next home game this Thursday!

Congratulations to Declan Adamson, Sean Currie, Neil Currie and Andrew Vincent on their selection for North Leinster under 11s to play South Leinster on Wed 28th July in Pembroke.  Its a great achievement and is note worthy in that Sean, Neil and Andrew are all available at under 11 again next year, indeed Neil is available for a few years yet, being only 8 years of age. Good luck to them all. Deryck
