Donaghcloney 1st XI
Date:
24th June 2006 at The Demense
Toss Won By: Donaghcloney
Saintfield
entertained Donaghcloney at The Demense on Saturday in a game
that Saintfield needed to win to keep the pressure on league
leaders Holywood and Dundrum. Donaghcloney captain Tim McClure
won the toss and elected to bat on what was a good wicket.

Donaghcloney’s
openers made steady progress although they struggled against
the accurate bowling of Phillip Murray who bowled four maidens
in his first five overs, before being taken off. First to strike
for Saintfield was Mark Yeates, who’s pace had troubled
the ’Cloney openers, and he had Hanna (7) trapped leg
before. Marshall (30) was next to go caught by skipper McBriar
off Woodruff’s bowling. A rush of blood from Derby (5)
gave Noel David his first victim when wicketkeeper Boultwood
produced another top-notch stumping. This left Donaghcloney
at 53 for 3, however a stand between Knox (22) and Hylands put
the pressure back on Saintfield, before Mullan caught Knox at
mid-wicket off the bowling of Harrison. Hylands appeared to
realise that there was very little batting to come and went
after the Saintfield bowling reaching 66 before McBriar had
him caught and bowled. Of the remaining six ‘Cloney batsmen
five got ducks and only Copland 13 not out troubled the scorers
as their innings closed on 157 all out in the 37th over.
Saintfield’s
innings got off to a great start with 10 coming in the first
over. Saintfield had reached 31 after 10 overs with openers
Clegg and Wheeler going well. Clegg (19) was caught on the mid-off
boundry, by a superb one handed catch by McClure. Wheeler (41)
was also caught on the boundary by Marshall, leaving Saintfield
on 76 for 2. The only other wicket to fall was Woodruff (16)
bowled by Knox with the score on 99. That left Saintfield needing
59 to win which McCavery (40no) and Harrison (28no) knocked
off with relative ease to give Saintfield a seven wicket victory.
