A good victory thanks to an outstanding innings from Seán Dempsey. At 19-0 after 10 overs it was tough going but Mick and Seán saw off the opening bowlers and gradually upped the pace. Darren and Shane chipped in but it was Seán who stole the show with a controlled innings which developed into a powerful display of hitting. He carried his bat for 120 which included eleven 4s and five 6s. At the end the bowlers didn't want to bowl to him and who can blame them.
In reply Malahide scored slowly but steadily. Our opening bowlers Monty and Stuart bowled well and when they tried to increase the scoring rate, wickets started to fall with increasing regularity and they fell well short.
A better day all round.
