In a weekend that we had five senior & junior sides out and didn’t manage to get a win, a couple of fantastic individual performances stood out. Up top was Dave Langford-Smith’s first century on home soil in what was a devastating display of controlled hitting against Glendermott in the Irish Senior Cup. A great captain’s effort.
Our policy of bringing youths through into the senior sides is already bearing fruit and many watching were amazed with the way Adam Chester went about compiling 44 runs for the 4th X1 against a good Leinster bowling outfit. The maturity that some of the younger players have already displayed has been really impressive.
Thomas Anders made his 1st X1 debut on Saturday, aquitting himself well with the bat and in the field in a very tough game and then followed up on Sunday by grabbing a couple of wickets for the 2nds.
As well as these individual highlights there were lots of positives to be taken from the weekend and it’s a long season ahead, so chins up!
