YM U15s Win the Yates Hale U15 Cup...

02 Aug 2014

YM U15s beat Leinster by 10 wickets to win the Yates Hale U15 Cup and add it to the T20 Cup they won in June.

Winning the toss and bowling first they took two early wickets, both to Sam Streek. After a 3rd wicket partnership of 59 between O'Gorman & Murray, the YM bowlers took control, particularly the spin-twins Aviral Shukla & Harry Tector, finally dismissing the visitors for 103 in the 35th and last over of the innings.

Best of the bowlers, Aviral Shukla 3/18, Sam Streek 3/19, Stephen Keane 2/13

In reply, YM were never in trouble as openers Rory McGovern 32* and Sam Murphy 65* were faultless, playing shots all around the ground, as they romped to victory in the 21st over to win by 10 wickets.

Team: R.McGovern, S.Murphy +, H.Tector *, Stephen Keane, A.Shukla, A.Blair-White, S.Gray, D.O'Connor, S.Streek, Shane Keane, R.Maltby & A.Tuite
