Leinster's premier competition for cricket playing Primary schools has reached the semi finals stages following the conclusion of group matches this week. As per last year, the standard of cricket has been very impressive with four good sides progressing through to the knock out stages. These semi final games will be played next Wednesday at Pembroke CC.
While next Tuesday will see the senior schools final being played between established schools St Andrew’s and St Mary’s there has been quite a bit of activity of late within secondary schools who have had little or no history of the game.
The new format of the Schools Senior League saw the introduction of four sections of three teams. The top two teams in each section qualified for quarter -finals and the losers in each section went into a plate competition.
The Tallaght Schools cricket team entered the Leinster Schoolboys Cricket League for the 2013 season. This was on the back of coaching visits carried out to schools in the Tallaght area over the past 12 months through South Dublin County Council and the Cricket Leinster’s ‘Cricket in the Community’ programme. Players were drawn from all areas of Tallaght and from the following schools: St Marks Community School, Firhouse Community College, Old Bawn Community School, Colaiste De hIde, Holy Family and Tallaght Community School.
