U15′s Win League Final!!

The U15′s put in a great all round team performance to overcome YMCA on Friday to become Leinster U15b league champions. A great crowd watched as Ali Elahi and Shazib Sindhu both grabbed 4 wickets each and then captain Thomas Anders (62*) and brother Rory, combined for a mature and patient partnership to see Phoenix home by 8 wickets.

Man of the match was Ali Elahi for a great spell of spin bowling that saw him remove YMCA’s two most dangerous batsman in his 4 wickets and really turn the game in Phoenix’s favour. Well done Ali and all the boys.

U15′s Cup Final v YMCA – Friday 27th August

The U15′s had a great win over Pembroke on Tuesday to reach the U15b league final to be played at Phoenix on Friday at 3pm. A great all round fielding performance and super bowling from Ali Alahi (3-10) was followed by a patient and controlled batting performance from Thomas Anders (50*) and Eoin Cleere (24) that saw us home. Well done boys and good luck on Friday. Please get down and support them if you can. They are the future!

Note: Thanks to John Mullins, David Ensor and Mike Halliday for attending the semi-final and offering advice and words of encouragement to the boys.

Ireland Underage Selections

Hot on the heels of our LCU Squad selections comes news that Thomas and Rory Anders have been called up to the Ireland U15 and Ireland U13 winter squads respectively. This is all the more pleasing as both are in the first year of their qualification periods at those age groups.

Best of luck!

LCU Under 13 Squad

Congratulations to Rory Anders, Adam Chester and Eoin Cleere for their selection to the LCU U13 squad for Easter training sessions. They will also be eligible for selection for the extensive U13′s programme in 2010, including the Interprovincial series in Belfast, matches at home to Hudson Park School (South Africa), Bedford Modern (England) and a tour to Taunton.

Also worthy of mention are Ben White and Dev Dismore who narrowly missed the squad. Hopefully their performances in the early season matches will enhance their case.
