Dundrum 2nd XI

Date: 2nd June 2007 at The Demense
Toss Won By: Dundrum

Saintfield entertained their local rivals Dundrum at The Demense in the Intermediate Cup on Saturday. On a day when the weather was more akin to mid-October than the first Saturday in June, a biting wind blowing all afternoon, Saintfield put together a good team performace to gain a 10 wicket victory.

Winning the toss Dundrum captain Stephen Maxwell elected to bat first and as with the previous weeks win over Ards Saintfield's opening bowlers of Ross Boultwood and Barry Mullan grabbed early success. Boultwood continued his good early season form and bowled a terrific spell of 10 overs including 5 maidens and collected 3 wickets for 15 runs. Saints captain Mullan also collected 3 wickets for 35 runs in his 10 over spell. For Dundrum captain Stephen Maxwell (40) and wicketkeeper Alan Gordon (29) batted sensibly to rescue Dundrum from the precarious position of 35 for 5. Last man Patrick Calvert (14) played some nice shots before Tommy Stewart bowled Calvert with his second ball and Dundrum's innings closed on 148 in the 49th over.

Saintfield stuck with the opening partnership of Saintfield veteran Alan McCaughtry and Paul Mullan that had performed well the previous week against Ards. It was to be a partnership that Dundrum would be unable to break all day despite the best efforts of all their bowlers. Mullan was fortunate on a couple of occasions when leading edges or mistimed strokes landed wide of fielders and McCaughtry was dropped in the closing stages of the innings. However Dundrum could not separte the pair, Mullan finished the game with two consecutive 4's in the 24th over to finish on 90 not out his innings included 10 x 4's and 2 x 6's. McCaughtry who sustained a calf strain during his innings was content to play the supporting role and finished on 36 not out an innings including 4 x 4's and 1 x 6.

Saintfield return to league action this week with a fixture against Millpark.
