2nds, 3rds & 4ths all gain promotion...
03 Oct 2011
Although no league titles were won it has been an exceptional season for the YMCA 2nds, 3rds & 4ths.
All 3 teams came runners-up in their respective leagues and thus gain promotion.
The
2nd XI
squad was strengthened by the return of
Andrew Walker
&
David
Robinson,
who gave the team a more competitive edge. New-comers
Travis
Partridge,
Yaqoob Ali & Salman Ali
also gave the team a more experienced look. Add in
Waz Armstrong, David Streek, Simon Wilson-Moore, Johnny Harte, Ehtesham Ahmed, Chris Minch
and
Sean
Mcauley
and we should have done better.
A good cup run saw the team beat Mullingar 1sts, Civil Service 1sts (a league above us) before losing to Merrion 2nds in the semi-final.
The league performances were much improved from 2010, winning 9 of their 14 league games. Big wins against Railway (twice) and eventual winners Merrion were the highlights. North Kildare, Malahide (twice), Mullingar (twice), Laois were also accounted for.
The lowlights were losses to Laois (D/L) in persistant rain and North Kildare at home. Phoenix, our boggy side beat us twice. Even the final match of the season, versus Merrion for the title, was disappointing as the team could not defend a competitive target (which should have been enough) having made cardinal errors of not batting their full allocation of overs and then dropping some easy catches.
Top run scorers were
Travis Partridge
365 runs @ 33.18 (inc. 2x100s),
David
Streek
330 (2x50s) @ 23.57,
Simon Wilson-Moore
276 @ 23.00 and
Andrew Walker
202 @ 25.25. There were some vital knocks from others during the season, however only 3 x 100s and 5 x 50s were completed throughout the entire season which is not really enough.
The bowling was where we won most games and particularly with the spin duo of
Yaqoob Ali
40 wkts @ 11.35 and
Jonny Harte
16 @ 13.50. These 2 had big summers and were backed up by the seamers of
Umar Jehangir
23 wkts @ 18.57 and
Waz
Armstrong
16 @ 17.19.
Of the younger players
Lee Cole
impressed behind the sticks,
James Smith
looked the part opening the bowling and
Jack Tector
showed his potential as a genuine all-rounder.
Next season Div 3 and a much tougher proposition.
The
3rd XI
to follow....
