Millpark 2nd XI

Date: 9th June2007 at Seapark
Toss Won By: Saintfield

Saintfield II XI made it three wins on the bounce when they defeated Millpark II XI at The Demense on Sunday. On winning the toss Saints captain Barry Mullan decided to bat.

Opening pair Paul Mullan and Craig Boultwood got off to a great start and put on 42 before Boultwood (28)got one that nipped back between bat and pad to clip off stump. Mullan who is revelling in his new found opening role played well and after the lose of Brian Hall (1) he and 17 year old Conor Patterson put on 54 for the 3rd wicket. Patterson was trapped leg before with the score on 116 in the 23rd over. Mullan was then joined by the evergreen Trevor Long. Unfortunately shortly after Long's arrival Mullan (54) took a rush of blood and tried to hit one onto Saintfield's Main Street, ultimately he missed and was bowled. Alister Glover(20) was looking in confident form before he too was adjudged leg before in the 30th over. With the score on 145 for 5 Millpark sensed they were into the Saintfield tail when Phillip Murray walked to the crease, however Murray had other ideas and set about the Millpark attack with great venom. Murray blasted th ball to all parts of the ground hitting 9x4's and 3x6's on his way to 84. Murray was bowled with two balls remaing as he tried another big shot. Not to be outdone Ross Boultwood replace Murray and promtly smashed his first ball for a 6, the Saintfield innings clsing on 267 for 6 with Boultwood (8no) and Long (25no)

Millpark were never really in the hunt with such a mamoth target to reach and appeared content to gain as much batting practice as possible for their younger players. Tierney (33) and McCourt (20) batted well as did some of the younger members in paticular 14 year old Ryan Dennison and Jordan Maxwell. Millpark finished on 135 all out to give Saintfield a 132 run victory.
