LEINSTER BOLTS VS MUNSTER HEAT (29/30 JULY)

The Sherwin O’Riordan sponsored Leinster Bolts will travel to Cork to play the Munster Heat in a two-day red ball game at The Mardyke on Tuesday and Wednesday, 29th and 30th July as part of the Future Series.

The team selected for this third Future Series fixture is as follows:

Gavin Hoey (Pembroke), Captain
Philippe Le Roux (Railway Union), Vice-Captain
Chris De Freitas (Balbriggan)
Séamus Lynch (Clontarf)
Macdara Cosgrave (Pembroke)
John McNally (Clontarf)
Suliman Safi (North County)
Reuben Wilson (Clontarf)
Liam McCarthy (Railway Union)
Bryon McDonough (Pembroke)
Olly Riley (Pembroke)
Mark Tonge (Leinster)

The Leinster Bolts have drawn the first two games against the Emerging Warriors and the Emerging Knights, both played at Oak Hill, County Wicklow.

In the game last week against the Knights, half centuries for Chris De Freitas and Gavin Hoey were the highlights for Leinster Bolts. That said, the Knights lead the table by 1 point ahead of the Warriors who they meet this week at Eglinton.

The Leinster Bolts can still pip both if they beat Munster Heat at The Mardyke with enough points and if the other clash ends in a stalemate.

There are some personnel changes for game three with Olly Riley and Mark Tonge both included for this crucial clash with the Reds. Seamus Lynch will reassume the wicket-keeping duties from Matthew Langan who kept wicket in the first game.
