Sandyford Cricket Club

The 2nds came back empty handed from a visit to Knockharley. Batting first, Sandyford made128 ao which the home side chased down for the loss of only 4 wickets.

 It was a day of records for the 3rds in their Cup quarter final against Clontarf 7ths. Batting first, Sandyford made a 3rds record score of 277-7, with Chris Keene making 117 and sharing a club record 2nd wicket partnership with Anish Pillai (61) of 153 with Daniel White hitting a quick-fire 57*. In Clontarf's innings, Daniel also took a hat-trick as the visitors were dismissed for 197.

    

The three stars: l/r hat-trick man Dan White (4-37) and 57*, centurion Chris Keene  117 and 1-24 and Anish Pillai 61 and 2-26. Chris and Anish also put on a club 2nd wicket record stand of 153.

The 3rds came back down to earth with a bang on Sunday when they were beaten by 9 wickets in Three Rock by Knockharley. The ten man team could only muster 77, with just two players getting in to double figures, which Knockharley easily knocked off for the loss of 1 wicket.

A great win for the 1sts away to Leinster. Batting first, Sandyford made 254-08 with a maiden century (103*) by Prem Peethambaran and with the help of 4-17 by Salman Ali Leinster were dismissed well short of the total for 141. I don't remember a weekend where two Sandyford players scored centuries.

Prem who scored 103* against Leinster making it a double century weekend for the club.

A ten man 3rds team kicked off a tough weekend against Dundrum 3. With a late cry off due to illness and the 2nds also playing, it was going to be a difficult task which it proved to be. Set 209 to win, Sandyford were only able to make 94-06 off their 40 overs.

 The 2nds were knocked out of the Intermediate Cup by Leinster. Despite Amandeep making 67 and Prem taking 3-19, they were beaten by 50 runs.

 Revenge for the 2nds on Sunday when they beat Leinster by 5 wickets at Marlay in their league game. The visitors were dismissed for 92 with Deepak Trotsky taking 4 wickets backed up by some excellent catching in the field. Rahman took the attack to the visitors when Sandyford batted, hitting a quick-fire 37 and despite a small wobble, Sandyford made the total reasonably easy in the 20th over.
