  3. Merrion win league - Collier & Ryan take awards
28th September 2015 by Paul Reynolds

Merrion win league - Collier & Ryan take awards

The last weekend of the season duly saw Merrion 2 crowned Division 3 champions, after they brushed aside Leinster 2 in double quick time.

Leinster were quickly dismissed for 76, with the wickets shared around between Merrion's four bowlers - Max Neville with the best return of 4-27. For Leinster, Will Rolfe was the only player to walk away with pride intact, with 41*.

Merrion then knocked off the runs with a minimum of fuss, losing three wickets and taking only 91 balls. It cemented Merrion 2's first Division 3 trophy, to go with the five times they won the old Senior 2 league.

The OCC has subsequently met, and decided on the winners of the various Division 3 individual trophies. With only one player achieving the qualifcation mark in the batting and bowling, they didn't have too much deciding to do!

 

Highest Batting average in Division 3 (Bookman Cup) - (Qualification - 500 runs )

Paul Ryan of North Kildare wins the Bookman Cup, in his first year for the club after leaving Clontarf. His tally of 579 runs was far more than anyone else managed - only Michael Lewis of Merrion passed 400 runs. It is Ryan's best year with the bat by far in recent years, and he is also one of only three players to have passed the 500 run/50 wicket double in Division 3 (Mark Collier (Clontarf) and Nadeem Akhtar (The Hills) being the other two)
