Armagh Under 11s notch up a convincing 99 run victory over Doncloney Mill

Following on from the disappointment of Monday evening’s match, our U11s had another opportunity to register their first league win of the season... and they certainly took it, completing a thoroughly entertaining 99 run victory.

Having won the toss, Armagh Cricket Club opted to bowl restricting, Donacloney Mill Cricket Club to 207 for 16; in reply, the U11s scored 306 for 5.

Whilst it was a fantastic, all round performance with excellent bowling (11 bowled wickets), sharp wicketkeeping & fielding (1 x stumping and 4 x run outs) and solid batting (partnerships of 15, 16, 19, 46 and 10), it was the camaraderie which really caught the eye - celebrating each other’s successes as though their own... the U11s really are a “team”.

Special mention to:

Harry Beggs and Zach Dally for their 46 run partnership.
Harry Beggs, Isaac Villiers, Joshua Frazer, Jack Mandrekar and Zach Dally for each taking 2 wickets.
Zach Dally for his impeccable glove work behind the stumps (especially impressive when deliveries were seaming on an artificial wicket!!)

Full Scorecard

Thank you to Donacloney Mill Cricket Club for hosting us and good luck for the rest of the season.

Great to get back to winning ways and we look forward to our next match against Victoria.

Monday 8th June 2026 on The Mall U11s vs Lurgan U11s

Armagh Cricket Club U11s continued their season with a home league match again Lurgan on Monday evening - with the sun unexpectedly making an appearance, our hopes were equally bright in continuing our winning start to the season......however, against an impressive opposition, the team ended up on the wrong side of the result.

With Lurgan posting 328 for 6, Armagh finished on 204 for 12

Full Scorecard

Despite the result, it was a good day for the majority of our players, with 5 of the team playing their first cricket match.....and it’s safe to say the result didn’t dampen the experience.

There were plenty of positives – great effort with the ball and in the field.....brave batting, and most importantly, the whole game was played with an abundance of enthusiasm.

Special mentions must go to:

Charlie Russell for taking 2 wickets in his 2 overs.
James Nicholson for taking his 1st wicket for the team.

Hard luck to our U11s - wasn’t our day and that was mainly down to how well the opposition played - well done to Lurgan and look forward to our next encounter.

Next match sees our U11s away to Donaghcloney on Thursday 11th June - hopefully, we can get back to winning ways…
