LEINSTER SQUAD FOR IP50s AT OAK HILL (13 & 15 MAY)

The Sherwin O’Riordan sponsored Leinster Lightning squads have been confirmed for the two IP50 fixtures at Oak Hill this week.

The Leinster team commenced their double title defence in style last week with a comprehensive win over Munster in a sun-drenched Oak Hill with commanding hundreds from Pembroke duo Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector.

With various players recovering from injury, being rested by CI or sitting examinations, it has been challenging for Andre Botha (Leinster Lightning Head Coach) to assemble a balanced squad for both games.

Seamus Lynch is scheduled to return for Tuesday’s fixture against the Knights and then Tim Tector comes back in for the game against the Warriors on Thursday.

LEINSTER LIGHTNING vs NORTHERN KNIGHTS (TUESDAY 13TH MAY)
10.45AM, OAK HILL, CO WICKLOW

Lorcan Tucker (Pembroke), Capt
Seamus Lynch (Clontarf)
Chris De Freitas (Balbriggan)
Harry Tector (Pembroke)
David Delany (Clontarf)

Nazir Totakhil (Rush)
Reuben Wilson (Clontarf)
Dylan Lues (Balbriggan)
Fionn Hand (Clontarf)

Head Coach: Andre Botha
Asst Coach: Andrew Poynter
Manager: Mick Cotter

Fionn Hand is returning from injury and is likely to undergo some fitness testing before being confirmed fit to bowl. As a consequence, he may only play in the second game against North West Warriors and will bowl a reduced allocation of overs.

Reuben Wilson is named in the squad for both days although his workload will need to be contained as he also makes his return to full fitness.
