Dungannon 1st XI

Date: 13th August 2006 at The Demense
Toss Won By: Saintfield

Following the victory over Templepatrick on Saturday Saintfield entertained Dungannon at The Demense on Sunday. Somewhat disappointingly Dungannon only arrived with nine men due to a number of late cry-off’s on the morning of the game. Given this on winning the toss Saintfield captain Mark McBriar put Dungannon into bat.
Dungannon’s opening pair of McNamee and Adrain looked useful and punished poor deliveries. The introduction of John Wheeler got Saintfield the breakthrough when he had Adrain (17) trapped leg before with the score on 25. Kelly then joined McNamee and Kelly who previously has played cricket in the North West played some aggressive strokes particularly to anything short. McNamee (15) departed with score on 62 well caught by skipper McBriar at leg slip of Noel David’s bowling. After McNamee’s departure Kelly struggled to get a partner to stay with him with wickets falling at regular intervals with David’s off-spin causing the Dungannon batsmen great difficulties. David finished with 5-23 off his ten overs. Dungannon finished on 128 for 8 in the 45th over with Kelly unbeaten on 52.
Saintfield’s batsmen were again on top form with 17 year-old Gareth Harrison continuing his recent good form to reach 71 not out, an innings that included some text book cover and straight drives. Harrison was ably supported by the more experienced Ray McCavery who finished on 38 not out, the casualty in the Saintfield innings being Maurice Clegg (4) who was caught at mid on by Mehtha off Dougherty’s bowling, as Saintfield won comfortably in the 23rd over.
