Winning Ways Continue For The U11s

Armagh posted 283 for 4 with Waringstown scoring 276 for 7

Jun 23, 2026

Monday evening saw the U11s take on Waringstown at The Lawn in the hope of extending their cup run and in a tightly contested affair, Armagh came out on top with a 7 run victory.

Batting first, Armagh posted 283 for 4 with Waringstown scoring 276 for 7.

With the victory pendulum swinging both ways, the last few overs proved to be the turning point as Armagh snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

A solid batting performance (with Tom McMahon and Charlie Russell followed by Harry Beggs and Zach Dally leading the way with partnerships of 22 and 24 respectively) was underpinned by some decent bowling and fielding.

From a bowling perspective, Isaac Villiers (2 overs, 1 wicket for 5 runs) and Charlie Russell (2 overs, 2 wickets for 7 runs) were the pick of bowling attacked and Charlie Russell (taking a fine caught and bowled), Matthew Villiers (taking a tremendous catch at mid-off) and the ever reliable Zach Dally (nabbing a stumping too) setting the example in the field.

Despite a minor blip where 25 runs were scored in 3 overs, putting Waringstown ahead at the end of the 17th over, tight bowling from Liam Bassi (1 wicket for 6 runs), James Atkinson (1 wicket for 6 runs) and Tom McMahon (1 wicker for no runs) saw Armagh turn it around to ensure victory.

Thank you to Waringstown for hosting us and a thoroughly entertaining game……we look forward to a rematch in next week’s league match.

A huge well done to the team - they worked hard for the result and should be incredibly pleased with their efforts.....all superbly captured by Mark Dally.

Next match sees our U11s away to Victoria tomorrow, Wednesday 24th June - where hopefully, we can continue with our winning ways
