Chasing 163 for the Salver, Athlone made a steady start but found it difficult to maintain momentum as Tyrrelstown’s bowlers continued to take wickets. Himanshu Pardeshi scored 16 from 23 balls and Naveenkumar Maradala added 20 from 24, before Syed Atisham Aziz provided some impetus with a brisk 29.

Tyrrelstown’s bowling attack kept the pressure on throughout the chase. Sai Kiran Bodhu was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3/19 from 3.2 overs, while skipper Maheswar Reddy Gurram claimed two wickets. Saikumar Reddy Rapol and Vijay Movva also took a wicket each as Athlone were eventually dismissed for 106 in 19.2 overs.

The result saw Tyrrelstown complete a 56-run victory and lift the YMCA Salver, presented by Amanda Dunlop in memory of her father Alec, following a competitive final that saw both sides produce strong individual performances with bat and ball.
