Donaghcloney 1st XI

Date: 2nd June 2007 at The Factory Ground
Toss Won By: Donaghcloney

Saintfield grabbed their third league win of the season with an emphatic 10 wicket victory away to Donaghcloney. Donagcloney won the toss and elected to bat, with light drizzle, the Donaghcloney skipper David Marshall had reckoned on the bowling conditions to be difficult early on. However Saintfield proved otherwise.

Saints opening pace attack of Captain Mark McBriar and Mark Yeates has been added to with the new signing of New Zealander John Paine. Together this three combined to put the 'Cloney to the sword. McBriar in particular was in destructive form bowling his ten overs straight through and collecting 5 wickets for 19 runs his spell included 3 maiden overs. Mark Yeates picked up 2 for 14 in 6 overs and the introduction of Paine for his Saintfield debut soon wiped up the tail as he collected three wickets for 2 runs in 1.4 overs. The only Donaghcloney batsman to offer any resistance was Captain David Marshall who reached 22 before Paine removed his leg stump, Donaghcloney managing just 55 runs in 22.4 overs.

Saintfield openers of Maurice Clegg and Richard Owens made short work of the run chase reaching 59 in 10th over. Clegg in particular played some delightful attacking strokes to reach 39 not out including 8 x 4's, Owen's finishing on 9 not out as Saintfield cantered to a ten wicket victory.

Saintfield know there will be more difficult fixtures ahead in coming weeks starting at home this Sunday to Larne.
