Division 1
With the last game of the Division 1 Women’s competition taking place this Saturday (30.8.2014), it looks like Merrion will take this year’s Division 1 Trophy and add to their silverware.
Leinster CC and Pembroke CC battled it out last night for 2nd place. Pembroke elected to bat first and posted 114 of their 20 overs. Louise McCarthy and Kim Garth posting the majority of PCC’s runs.
Leinster opened with Valmai Gee and young Anna Kerrision and built a good opening partnership. At the halfway mark LCC were on track to chase down the runs. With a change of bowling PCC picked up 3 quick wickets but at this stage you could barely see the ball. The umpires decided to call the game and forced it to a DL decision. The outcome was a draw, and secured 2nd place overall for Leinster PCC.
