East Belfast 1st XI

Date: 3rd June 2006 at The Demense
Toss Won By: East Belfast

Saintfield strolled into the semi final of the junior cup with a comprehensive victory over East Belfast by 231 runs. Surprisingly when the East Belfast captain won the toss he put Saintfield in on a glorious batting wicket.
From the off Saintfield were in control with openers Clegg (32) and Stewart (84) putting on 100 for the first wicket in 25 overs. When Clegg was dismissed Woodruff joined Stewart and this pair took the game to East Belfast with aggressive batting which unfortunately ended with Stewart being run out on 84 in the 33rd over. McCavery was caught in the covers for 5 and a quick fire 23 from Paul Mullan added to Saintfield’s total. Woddruff was on fire as he blitzed the bowlers to all parts of the ground on his way to 91. He was eventually out with one ball of the innings left caught behind of the bowling of Stevenson. The Saintfield innings closed on a magnificent 275 for 5.
Saintfield’s bowlers matched the batsmen with quality bowling from the word go. Phillip Murray was the pick of the bowlers picking up 4 for 10 in 8 overs. Skipper Mark McBriar and Gareth Harrison both returned figures of 2 for 2 as a weak East Belfast side collapsed to 44 all out. Saintfield now progress to the cup semi finals were they will meet local rivals North Down II on the 1st of July.
