Match report
YMCA v Malahide
At The Village, Malahide
WMK League - Section B.
Next morning it was groundhog day as the Villagers inserted YMCA and met some positive opening batting, this time from Reinhardt Strydom. Then Daykin got one to whip in to Rainy, keep very low and have him lbw for 27 out of 28. The living legends pottered another 26 runs before Alan Lewis slogged Kirwan to Daykin at mid off for 11.
Stu McCready clattered rather than pottered, but unsuccessfully, skying one off Glenda to the skipper. Angus Dunlop was dropped by Neil Boyne on 17, and Paul Beacroft would have been given out caught behind first ball after a rain break at 86-3 off 25 overs had Fintan McAllister caught it. He did hole out for 10 out of 100 in the 32nd over, and James Parkinson continued with the aerial route, surviving a drop by Markey.
More rain caused an early tea, but Gussie, meantime, had begun to enjoy himself, and while never his fluent self of ten years ago, found the boundary with increasing frequency, passed fifty, and lost Parkinson, caught by Boyne off Govan for 24. 145-4 became 154-7 as McCoy and Quirke came and went, but Johan van der Flier batted sensibly to add 38 in four overs.
Van Rental was bowled by Daykin for 16, young Hohn went similarly for zip, and Warwick Armstrong, though he didn't score, saw Gussie get to 92* and his team to 200-9 off 50. Daykin returned 4/59 off his ten and Govan 2/45, but the tightest bowling came from Riches (0/18) and Kirwan (2/26).
There was more rain extending the interval between innings, and reducing the target to 174 off 38. Malahide knew that Rush had gained their expected victory over CYM, and so had to win to prevent second place coming down to who did better in the remaining fixtures against Old Belvedere.
The start was dreadful. After 9 overs they were 29/4, Riches slogging at Strydom, McAllister caught behind off Parkinson, Govan running himself out and John Pryor falling to a superb, low, left-handed catch at slip by Alan Lewis. Lewie was booked for doing a lap of honour and throwing his shirt into the crowd.
Yet again skipper Markey had to dig his team out of trouble, this time with Daykin. The two put on 90 in 18 overs mixing big hits with well-taken singles. Wazza should have caught and bowled his opposite number for 9, but he unaccountably hit the deck as Phil shelled one back at teeth height. Surely Wazza knows that his PRSI payments cover dental care! And his VHI would cover facial reconstruction.
Markey finally swung at Parkinson and missed to be bowled (haven't I said that before?) for 32. The left-handed Neil Boyne battled well for 19 out of a stand of 40, being caught behind off Strydom with three overs to go. The asking rate had stayed at fives for a long time, and six were wanted off the last over after Daykin was finally caught behind off Strydom for a fine 89.
Andy Pyne took a single to bring Kevin Price on strike. Pricey, older than me, was only playing because there was no-one else, and he's emigrating to Oz in the autumn. Biggles played two immaculate defensive shots, then his trademark lofted straight drive for four, then ran himself out. Pete Saville nurdled a single off the last ball and Malahide were very warm favourites to accompany YMCA into the top division.
Once there, both teams will need to strengthen their backup bowling, especially YMCA. Parkinson's eight yielded 3/28, Strydom's 3/22 and Smacker's 0/24. The other 14, shared by Beekers, Wazza and Gussie went for 82 and lost them the match.
