Some high scores last weekend sees major changes at the top of the RSA Leinster D1 averages. Upping the qualification to 250 runs sees K O’Brien and J Leacock drop out of the averages. Into the averages, in the two top spots, come M Baumgart and B Coghlan. The entry is T Fischer. Long way to go yet though and no one really dominating the batting in D1.
Little change in D2 with T Lawson still out in front with the highest averages and aggregate score. A second century by L Jansen moves him up a spot.
