The weekend's four Division 1 matches saw two tight finishes, as YMCA and Malahide beat Clontarf and Pembroke respectively, although it is North county who remain top, as their unbeaten league run stretched to four matches after a big win over Railway Union. In the final match, Merrion gained revenege for their cup defeat with a big win against Cork County.
There were three centuries, with Simmi Singh masterminding YMCA's win with 107, and fellow Lightning player Fintan McAllister, doing the same for Malahide. David Rhoda's 106* was the basis of Merrion's big total of 304-7, which was 103 runs too many for Cork County.
With the ball Clontarf's Joe Morrissey returned the best bowling, with 5-74, Joe's best return since last August, when Joe took 5-14 in the same venue!
