Great Opening Match at Merrion

What a great start to the season for the Mens 1st XI who opened their season in Merrion. Strong batting from Monil, Garreth, Saqib, Jai and a delightful 105 from Matthew gave us a strong total defend of 301. It was looking a little squeaky with Merrion on 156/0 but clearly we were just lulling them in to a false sense of security and had them all out for 285 in the last over. Even the great Peter Francis, returned to Ireland but now with Merrion, couldn't dig them out in the end. A hat trick for the combination of Joey bowling and Monil catching, plus 2 wickets for our newest recruit from Australia Luke Callanan as well as a couple of catches by him ... great game!
