Our two Cricket Leinster U13 Festival teams were playing today in a 30 over match at Malahide CC ahead of their trip up North West to play in the North West Cricket Union Festival next week.
Great to see so many clubs and schools represented!
Fantastic effort all-round, some outstanding fielding, batting and bowling from both sides! It turned out to be an incredibly close match.
