Mixed Results for Youth Teams

With the season coming to an end with an avalanche of games, we are still catching up with the results from July and early August. Up to the 10th of August there have been 68 scheduled matches – including two rained off and two walk overs.

Taking all competitions into account there has been an almost equal number of wins [33] to losses [35]. Teams have been competitive throughout, in only a few cases being out matched by their opponents.   But equally we haven’t been able to produce [as yet] a strong enough run of wins to challenge for honours.

Perhaps most pleasing has been the spread of performances. Earlier this week Lucy Kay [pictured] made her first half century playing for the Girls Colts as they secured a great win over Pembroke. The week before Ben Houchin also made his maiden 50 for the Boys Colts in their win over Leinster.
