  3. Merrion complete cup double
24th July 2011 by Eddie Lewis

Merrion complete cup double

Merrion completed a memorable double by adding the Senior II Cup [Storm Cricket Trophy] to the LHW Senior Cup. Batting first on a good YMCA wicket, Merrion got off to a slow start against a tight Clontarf attaack. But with wickets in hand Merrion were able to gradually ease the pressure and building around an excellent century by Neil Brown ended up with 253 for 8.

Despite a brisk start Clontarf lost too many early wickets and never managed to put together any significant partnerships and the match was over as a contest well before the end. The wickets were shared by the bowlers with David Watkins wrapping up the innings with three wickets.

Merrion 2 253-8 off 50 overs (Brown 100, Parkinson 46, Shimmons 26, Cullen 3-37)
Clontarf 122 all out in 34 overs.

Merrion 2 beat Clontarf 2 by 131 runs to win the Storm Cricket Trophy 2011
