Division 7 review - Part 1 - Merrion win at a canter

Division-by-Division Review by Fantasy points - Division 7

Division 7 saw 220 players take to the field, although 83 of these only played one or two games.

League Winners – Merrion 5

Merrion topped Division 7 both in terms of points scored and percentage. Their league record was 9 wins, 2 losses and 3 no results. Their points total of 212 is the fourth lowest by any champions. Pembroke managed to crawl out of the pack at the very end of the season to finish second in Captain Stephen Willis’ first season at the helm, but rather than quit whilst ahead he continues in the role next season.

Total Points scored in Division – 41,797

Top Batting Averages

Runs seem to have been at a premium in Division 7 with only 3 players from 3 different clubs averaging over 50.

1. P Mandati            Merr               65.00
2. N Scott-Hayward NK                  59.00
3. A Vincent           Tarf                 56.00

Most Centuries

A mere 2 centuries were scored by players in Division 7.

S Dalton                                                      NK                   1

Most Fifties

35 fifties were recorded by 27 players. I wonder if Jinto and Joji Mathew get mixed up much. Is one benefitting from the efforts of the other? That’s one for the players themselves as the OCC can only work with results submitted by captains.

Best Bowling Averages

Special mention here for M Auret who took 3 wickets for no runs at all. Why didn’t he bowl more? Maybe it was because he only played the one game in this division. Why didn’t he play more? No idea, but hopefully he gets out again next season. Is he any relation to Peter Auret of Slieve Bloom? Will they ever met on the field of play?
