It was our U13s turn to take centre stage as they took on a strong Lurgan side on The Mall yesterday evening…
In glorious sunshine, the U13s were hopeful in continuing their unbeaten season.
Winning the toss, Armagh elected to bat first and produced a composed batting display, posting an impressive 172-4 from their 20 overs against a decent bowling attack.
Oscar Steenson (51 retired out) and Dylan Coppard (27no) led the way with valuable contributions from Will Steenson (18) and Tom Kindred (14).
A solid performance in the field was required to ensure Lurgan had an uphill battle to overcome the first innings score…..and the team certainly delivered on that front.
With ball in hand, Tom Kindred (3 for 9) and Dylan Coppard (1 for 8 ) set the tone in the opening overs by reducing Lurgan to 17 for 4; with the damage done to the opposition’s batting line-up, the rest of the bowlers were able to maintain similar pressure with Will Steenson (2 for 6), Larkin Polack (2 for 11) and Jack Eakin (1 for 0) picking up wickets; adding to the impressive bowling performance was some sharp fielding (including a fantastic catch taken by Harry Halligan along with Harry McMahon and Will Steenson combining for a superb runout), all of which culminated in a comprehensive victory as Lurgan were bowled out for 57.
An excellent all-round team performance and the team should be very pleased with the efforts - definitely up there as one of the best junior performances I’ve seen in recent years.
Well done to both teams for a competitive game played in great spirit, and thank you to Lurgan for making the trip to The Mall.
Next up for the U13s are Lisburn (Away) this evening - all support welcome
