An excellent win for the Armagh U15 side last night at Cregagh in the Graham Cup first round.
This was the third attempt to play the game after the previous two fell foul of the weather!
Batting first, the hosts scored 123 for 5 in their allotted 20 overs. Armagh stuck to the task well with a tidy bowling and fielding display. Jack Eakin led the way taking 2 wickets whilst Daniel Beggs, Oscar Steenson and Larkin Polack took one each.
The chase was always very much a strong possibility and the top order must take great credit for the way they set about obtaining the necessary runs. Oscar Steenson, provided a batting master class, retiring on 50 not out (as per the competition rules), his innings included 10 sublime boundaries in 31 balls faced, and Daniel Beggs who made an impressive 22 not out.
Skipper Matthew Kerr, must have been in a rush up the M1 as he plundered a colossal 41 not out in only 20 balls that included 5 towering “6’s” to seal victory. All in all a great display by a team who bounced back so well after defeat at the hands of Waringstown only 7 days earlier.
Special thanks to Cregagh Cricket Club for hosting the game and their patience after two previous failed attempts. The under 15’s will progress to the next round and a home tie with Holywood on a date yet to be confirmed.
Cregagh:
123-5 ( L Duckett 34, O McMillan 23, J Eakin 2-7, L Polack 1-10, D Beggs 1-12, O Steenson 1-23)
Armagh:
129-1 (O Steenson 50 retired not out, M Kerr 41no, D Beggs 22no)
Result: Armagh won by 9 wickets.
